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.

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.<br/><br/>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.
