The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submission set for 17 October 2018. This project aims to evaluate the accuracy of automated retinal image grading software by re-grading 60,000 patient image sets across six local diabetic eye screening programmes. The contract is scheduled to commence on 30 October 2018 and will last for one year, concluding on 29 October 2019. The estimated value of the contract is £40,000 and it is being procured through an open procedure below the threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in software development and health-related technology. Businesses that are well-suited to compete are those with experience in automated systems, image processing, and data evaluation in healthcare settings. Engaging in this procurement could lead to advantageous partnerships and growth within the health sector, especially given the emphasis on improving diagnostic accuracy through innovative technology. ## Notice Public Health England (PHE) is seeking to commission an external partner to: a. use their own automated retinal image grading software (please see 2.2 software specification below) to re-grade 10,000 patient image sets from each of the 6 different local diabetic eye screening programmes identified (60,000 image sets in total) and from 3 different screening software; and b. provide a final spreadsheet of results (see table 1 below) for each of the 6 participating programmes. The National Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (NDESP) identified 6 local diabetic eye screening (DES) programmes in which programme grading can be investigated further. The aim is to compare the number of image sets categorised as having no disease, as determined by human graders (manual programme grading), with the number as determined by the automated retinal image software grading. This will be a one-time QA process to determine if the sensitivity of manual programme grading for patients with no disease is above an acceptable threshold. These outcomes must be met by or before 30 November 2018 Additional information: please go to phe.bravosolution.co.uk and go to current opportunities to view the tender documents.
