## Summary

Middlesbrough Council, in association with Redcar & Cleveland Council, is overseeing the procurement process for the "PH011/2024 Addressing Inequalities in Cancer Screening Project across South Tees." This project, classified under miscellaneous health services, aims to increase cervical screening uptake among GP practices in South Tees. The project is specifically targeting patients from the most deprived IMD deciles who have not responded to previous screening invitations. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase with an intention to award the contract to ELM Alliance Ltd, and the project is scheduled to run from September 2024 to March 2025. The standstill period ends on 21 August 2024, and the project's implementation will include a dedicated team of callers to support patient engagement and appointment booking.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies experienced in health service provision, particularly those specialising in patient engagement and data management. Businesses that have pre-existing relationships with GP practices and possess robust data-sharing capabilities are ideally suited to compete. With the project valued at £40,000 and spanning a six-month period, it offers a stable and impactful contract that aligns with public health outcomes. The involvement of a regional authority like Middlesbrough Council underscores the project's importance and the potential for future collaborations in public health initiatives.
