T@80 Evaluation
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
NHS England has procured services for the project titled "T@80 Evaluation" in the health services industry, specifically related to the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. The contract, which falls under the open procedure procurement method, aims to support the NHS Long Term Plan ambitions by lowering the bowel cancer screening referral threshold from 120 ug/gm to 80 ug/gm, following the Scottish screening programme. This change is intended to detect more cancers earlier, reduce mortality, and improve quality of life.
The contract has been awarded, with NHS England based in Leeds, England, overseeing the process. The contract period commenced on 5th March 2025 and will run until 1st October 2026, with a contract value of £500,000 GBP. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs involved in health service evaluations.
It encourages the participation of businesses capable of managing complex health projects that aim to enhance cancer detection and improve public health sustainability amid increased endoscopy demands and programme extensions. Companies that specialise in healthcare analytics, programme evaluation, and data analysis would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The contractor for this project, RAND Europe Community Interest Company, embodies the type of expertise and scale advantageous for similar business opportunities.
To support achievement of NHS Long Term Plan ambitions, it has been agreed by NHS England that the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme referral threshold will reduce from 120 ug/gm to 80ug/gm, in line with the Scottish screening programme. Evidence suggests that this will be a cost-effective way to detect more cancers earlier, reduce mortality and increase quality of life. Achieving this extension will be challenging alongside year-on-year increases in endoscopy demand from symptomatic services, BSCP age extension, and the enrolment of people with Lynch syndrome into the programme.
Therefore, to understand how this change in screening protocol can be delivered sustainably it has been agreed that the threshold will initially be dropped in select pilot sites alongside a comprehensive evaluation. Therefore NHSE seeks a partner to deliver the evaluation.
