This project was meant to support the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) in advising Ministers and the NHS by evaluating the volume and type of evidence on various screening topics. The project was divided into 11 lots, each requiring the delivery of a specific evidence map within six months. The estimated contract value for all lots was £214,500 (excluding VAT), with the option to extend the contract by up to two months. Despite the cancellation, the information highlights DHSC’s proactive planning for these essential research and development services, which falls under the services industry category and was intended to be executed in London (UKI32). While the tender has been cancelled, there remain significant business opportunities for providers of research and development consultancy services, particularly those focusing on rapid evidence production. Companies with expertise in systematic reviews, cost-effectiveness models, and disease modelling exercises would have been well-suited for this tender. The open procedure procurement method indicated a transparent and competitive process encouraging participation from small or medium enterprises (SMEs). Future similar opportunities may arise, making it worthwhile for interested businesses to stay engaged with DHSC's procurement portal for updates. ## Notice Abandonment of The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises Ministers and the NHS in the 4 UK countries on all aspects of screening.
