## Notice

See section II.2.4.1 for details

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of consumables and diagnostic service for detecting Barretts oesophagus and oesophageal cancer. Endoscopy for pre-cancer (Barretts) surveillance is an invasive, uncomfortable, costly and resource intensive procedure that has to be performed by a trained Endoscopy Consultant and team onsite at a hospital facility as it often requires patient sedation. By introducing a non-invasive procedure, the aim is to deliver significant benefits to patients, including earlier detection, reduced waiting times, and improved outcomes.

The Trust plans to enter into a 12-month contract with a single supplier capable of providing both consumables and diagnostic services as an integrated solution. This initiative is not a product trial but rather a pilot project to assess the Trust's capacity and capability for long-term service delivery.

This is a notice with the intention to award a contract under the most suitable provider process. This is a new service, with a new provider and the contract is expected to be live between June 2025 and June 2026.
