This tender falls under the health and social work services category and has a total value of £200,000, with an open procurement method initiated through an open procedure. The tender is currently active, and submissions are due by 17 September 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 24 September 2018 and run for one year, concluding on 23 September 2019. Bidders can submit their proposals from various locations, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those providing consulting, software development, and support directly related to health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is tailored to accommodate their capabilities. Companies that can develop efficient tools for evaluating user performance in breast cancer screening could find this tender especially appealing, aligning with the growing need for innovative health solutions in the public sector. ## Notice The NHSBSP is a two-stage process for screening and diagnosing breast cancers. Women initially undergo two-view mammography of each breast. The resulting images are reported by two independent readers who may be breast radiologists, breast physicians, consultant radiographers or advanced practitioner radiographers. The two possible outcomes from image reporting are abnormal or normal. The aim of the Programme is to maximise screening sensitivity (diagnosing the disease in the population who have the disease) whilst also maximising screening specificity (correctly identifying those who do not have the disease). The Programme requires all image readers to report a minimum of 5,000 images per year. With a national detection rate of 8/1000 women screened, the average reader will only see around 40 cancers on mammograms per year. PHE are therefore looking to procure a system to support the evaluation of users.
