In plain English
Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, acting for the Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon and Gloucestershire Cancer Alliance, wants a provider to run a fully managed lung cancer screening programme across that area. The contract covers an initial 36 months, with options to extend by up to two further 12-month periods, for a maximum of 60 months.
What the buyer wants
• Identify and engage the eligible population, and deliver lung cancer screening services including low-dose CT (LDCT) scanning • Manage participant pathways to support early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer • Deliver a high-quality, accessible and equitable service that maximises uptake, reduces health inequalities, and complies with all relevant national standards and programme requirements
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state a value, turnover, insurance or certification threshold, but delivering a clinical screening programme with LDCT scanning and patient pathway management across four counties would most likely rule out small businesses that lack clinical capability and the capacity to run a service of this scale.
