This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare and clinical audit sectors to contribute to a significant national initiative focused on cancer care.

The audit will comprise: * Element 1: An ongoing continuous prospective audit of all eligible patients from their first presentation through diagnosis, treatment / palliation, and outcome from that primary event. * Element 2: An organisational survey undertaken in contract year 1 or 2 * Element 3: A national collection in contract year 3 of patient reported outcome and experience measures (PROMs / PREMs). N.B: confirmation of the commissioning of this element is dependent on the achievement of contract objectives 1 - 6 during years 1 and 2. This element may be delayed or cancelled if these objectives are not met. Feasibility work in relation to Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing, which has been pending for several years, is excluded from years 1-3 of this contract, but may be revisited if a future extension to cover year 4/5 is invited.
