## Summary

The NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (BNSSG CCG) is in the process of awarding a contract for a "Primary Care Early Diagnosis of Cancer Digital Support Tool," a procurement classified under medical information systems. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, following a limited procedure where only one supplier, 'C the Signs Limited,' has been identified as meeting the CCG's technical requirements. The total value of the contract is £476,160, covering a duration of three years, with the contract award anticipated shortly after the date of the latest update on 15 September 2021.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on developing integrated medical information technologies, particularly those with experience in cancer diagnosis tools. Companies that can demonstrate the capability to meet stringent integration requirements with existing NHS systems, like EMIS, will be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, those businesses that can deliver innovative healthcare solutions that enhance patient outcomes may find considerable growth potential in engaging with NHS procurement processes.

## Notice

Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCG (BNSSG CCG) is proposing to award the provision of a Primary Care Early Diagnosis of Cancer Digital Support. The CCG has undertaken an objective assessment of its options and is clear that the identified provider is the only one that meets all its requirements. The provider offers a Cancer specific tool, thereby supporting the evaluation of the effect on the earlier diagnosis of cancer (aim of the LTP), is the only affordable solution, and is known to be able to meet the CCG's urgent go-live requirements. It is also known that the provider can integrate in to EMIS, as is required. As a result of all the material factors noted above, the requirement is being awarded in line with the negotiated procedure without prior publication and specifically regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 'competition is absent for technical reasons'. The CCG is using the Regulations solely as a guide as to the appropriateness of its decision-making and nothing in this Notice or elsewhere intends to bind the CCG to the Regulations or any part of them. CCGs are sub-central authorities, and this requirement is therefore a sub-threshold requirement. The contract will be awarded to C the Signs. The value of this notice is PS158,724 for a 3 year period.
