## Notice

You are invited to attend a virtual market engagement for the Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad (CVLP).

Overview
The CVLP is a strategic priority and collaboration between NHS England, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the Office for Life Sciences (OLS), the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and Genomics England (GEL), with the aim to facilitate access to personalised cancer vaccine research trials. The project was jointly announced in July 2023 with the Secretary of State and in partnership with the Prime Minister. See link (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/major-agreement-to-deliver-new-cancer-vaccine-trials#:~:text=It%20will%20work%20by%20creating,become%20part%20of%20standard%20care)

Through the CVLP platform, cancer patients from across a network of up to 140 NHS cancer care providers will be asked to consent to be put forward for clinical trials. Their surplus tissue samples, obtained through standard of care pathways, will be used to assess their eligibility. The detail of any available trials will be shared with the participant and their treating clinical team to see if the patient wishes to take part, and if so, the patient will travel to the nearest trial site to access the clinical trial.

The CVLP is company agnostic and is being set up in a phased approach with a small number of Trusts to test the pathway from September 2023. For the first phase, the CVLP is supporting one cancer vaccine clinical trial. It is likely that three to four additional trials will be brought into the CVLP during 2024.

NHS England is looking for a supplier to provide the digital infrastructure and clinical liaison function to manage the end-to-end pathway of the CVLP for up to 2000 patients until March 2025.
