## Summary

The NHS South Sefton CCG and NHS St Helens CCG are in the process of awarding a contract for the Targeted Lung Health Check (TLHC) Service, which aims to enhance lung cancer diagnosis among patients in their respective areas. This procurement, classified under health services, falls within a limited procurement method as specified by the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The contract, valued approximately at £2,299,348 per year, will be awarded following a 10-day standstill period that commenced on 13th May 2022 and concludes on 23rd May 2022. The contract duration is set for four years, with a possibility of a one-year extension depending on funding availability.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers specialising in lung health checks and related clinical services. Businesses involved in the delivery of innovative health services, diagnostic technology, or those with experience in cancer screening programmes would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the emphasis on early lung cancer diagnosis, organisations capable of implementing community-focused health initiatives could greatly benefit from engaging in this procurement process.

## Notice

NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (MLCSU) is supporting NHS South Sefton CCG and NHS St Helens CCG who wish to award a 5-year contract for a Targeted Lung Health Check Programme for patients living in the CCG areas.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The NHS Long Term Plan published on 7th January 2019 included a new ambition to diagnose three out of four people with cancer at an early stage by 2028. To help deliver on this ambition, the Plan also committed to the extension of Targeted Lung Health Check across England. The programme builds on approaches trialled successfully in Manchester and Liverpool, where 55- to 74-year-olds who currently or had ever smoked were invited for a lung health check, with those identified at high of lung cancer receiving a CT scan to identify possible lung cancers. St Helens and South Sefton CCGs have now been offered funding to participate in the Programme and have been prioritised based on mortality outcomes from lung cancer. There is an expectation that the first CT scans will be delivered in August 2022. The potential contract will be valued at approximately PS2,299,348* per year; and the contract duration will be for 4 years with the potential to extend for a further 1 x 1-year period. The extension will be subject to further funding being made available to the CCGs. * Annual contract value is an average across the 5 years and is expected to be lower in the earlier years.
