In plain English

NHS Wales is seeking innovative digital and assessment solutions to modernise their bowel cancer screening pathway. They want to replace or enhance their current phone-based pre-colonoscopy assessment process (which runs only Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm) with modern alternatives that offer better access, flexibility, and participant experience for the 12,000+ people per year who receive a positive screening result.

What the buyer wants

• Design and deliver innovative solutions that improve how screening participants are assessed before colonoscopy, moving away from phone-only appointments during office hours • Provide digital tools, online booking systems, video content, or other modern communication methods that give participants more convenient access times and self-service options • Help triage and support participants more efficiently while maintaining patient safety and clinical standards

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a highly specialist NHS healthcare innovation contract requiring deep knowledge of bowel screening pathways, clinical assessment protocols, and UK health service systems; most traditional trade businesses (builders, cleaners, electricians) will be unqualified unless you are a health tech, digital solutions, or clinical services company with demonstrable NHS experience.
