## Summary

The National Health Service Commissioning Board (NHS England) is seeking bids for a tender titled "Hepatitis C as a part of liver health: improving awareness and treatment" under the health services category. This procurement process, currently in the tender stage, aims to provide screening access to general populations affected by Hepatitis C. Interested organisations must submit their proposals by 16:00 on 10th November 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 22nd November 2021 and continue until 31st March 2022, with a total contract value of £37,000. The services will be delivered in various urban locations across England, with a minimum of 20 towns or cities identified for service availability.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those offering screening and follow-up health services. Companies that specialise in public health initiatives or have experience in liver health and disease management would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement method is a limited competitive quotation, allowing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate and potentially contribute to improved health outcomes in communities at risk.

## Notice

There are around 90,000 people within England with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Some populations are of higher risk of HCV, including people who were born in endemic countries, people who inject drugs, and those who are in custody. NHS England has a number of targeted programmes to find those at the highest risk of HCV transmission / infection; this programme will provide us with some background into rates of infection within the general population, providing access to those who may have been at risk many years ago but not consider themselves to be so now - and may be silently harbouring progressive liver disease. This notice asks for an organisation to provide screening access to general populations, alongside existing programmes to support health and well being, liver health etc. It is expected that this will include; - Static / shop front type service availability in at least 20 towns / cities of interest - Access to an existing screening methodology (e.g. liver health) - Facilities to be able to offer follow up procedures where appropriate (e.g. antibody and/or PCR screening, fibro scan) - Linkage to care for those found to need it. This is a National requirement - There will be a minimum of 20 delivery locations centred on urban conurbations which the organisation must identify and have access to.
