Aligned to priorities highlighted in the Policy Prospectus and Care and Wellbeing Portfolio, this project seeks to provide evidence to understand the effects and impacts of cancer policy actions on people affected by cancer. The aim is to provide insights to evaluate who progresses smoothly (or not) along the pathway, in what way, and why, and what barriers (if any) are experienced. This will include evidence about how different elements or models of support work along the pathway, and how the pathway is experienced by different demographic groups, with a focus on those who have been underserved historically. In looking along the pathway, it will be important to focus on two initiatives that are being implemented in NHS Boards to support people affected by cancer along the pathway: Improving the Cancer Journey (Action 94, 2023-2036 Action Plan) and a Single Point of Contact (Action 95, 2023-2036 Action Plan). To support the ambition to tackle health inequalities, evidence should be gathered from individuals and groups who experience socio-economic inequalities, racism and discrimination, and in rural and island communities, where there are particular challenges in providing equity of access, as highlighted in the Cancer Strategy. Data will contribute evidence connected with high-level strategic outcomes of the Cancer Strategy: improved experience of services and optimised quality of life, which themselves contribute to the strategic aim to improve cancer survival and provide excellent, equitably accessible care. The contract will be for a period of up to 24 months with the option to extend for an additional 3 months Additional information: Some question will have a minimum pass mark of 2 suppliers who do not meet the minimum score of 2 will not proceed to commercial evaluation. Renewal: this contract has an optional extension of a further 3 months ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008153-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 15 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Mar 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | Lots value | £180,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Unsuccessful | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 71317200 - Health and safety services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 75122000 - Administrative healthcare services ## Release History - 14 Mar 2024 at 11:43 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008153-2024 - 11 Jan 2024 at 08:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000885-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000752753 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA10482 - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
