The tender falls under health and social work services and is classified as an open procurement process, with a total budget of £100,000. Interested suppliers must submit their bids by 11th October 2019, and the contract is set to commence on 1st November 2019, lasting for one year until 31st October 2020. The service is primarily focused on contacting individuals who have previously opted out of breast screening and encouraging them to re-engage with the programme. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health communication and outreach services, particularly those experienced in working with the NHS or similar public health initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender due to its inclusive suitability criteria. Providers that can effectively connect with diverse community members and have a strong understanding of public health initiatives will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Invitations are now invited from suitably experienced and capable providers to deliver the provision of a Breast Cancer Screening Communication Service. For the past two years RM Partners have run a number of projects designed to improve screening uptake for National Cancer Screening Programmes. These projects have mainly focused on contacting patients to talk about screening and to encourage participation in the programme as well as increasing access to screening appointments. A new area for RM Partners to focus on is in Breast screening. RM Partners, on behalf of NW and SW London CCGs, are seeking to procure an external supplier who will telephone people who have temporarily opted out of the breast screening service for various reasons, but are not invited back for screening until the next round three years later. It is envisaged that the suitable Provider will work with the Breast Screening Hub to identify those patients who have temporarily opted out of breast screening and call them from their registered GP practice to offer the opportunity to opt back into screening. Full details about this service are provided within a suite of procurement documents which in addition to competitive procurement tender documents, includes a Service Specification to ensure potential bidders are fully informed as to the scope and intentions for this service and the commercial arrangements intended to support the contract.
