two.2.4) Description of the procurement

This Invitation to Tender provides information pertaining to the procurement of Targeted Lung Healthcare Checks. The purpose of this procurement is to secure a Service Provider to deliver Targeted Lung Healthcare Checks across the geographical area covered by NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board. The ICB has chosen to follow the Competitive process for this opportunity in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Healthcare Services Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023.

The primary aim of the TLHC Programme is to reduce mortality from lung cancer by raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of lung cancer, promoting positive messages around early diagnosis and then actively targeting people at highest risk of having lung cancer so that they can receive the checks and tests required to provide an earlier diagnosis.

The Authority also aims to deliver the TLHC Programme in a way that minimises physical and psychological harm for participants whilst fully meeting or exceeding the requirements of the TLHC Standard Protocol and TLHC Quality Assurance Standards.

The primary objective of the TLHC Programme is to identify people with the highest risk of having lung cancer, invite them to receive a Lung Health Check (LHC) and then, if their risk of lung cancer is high, perform a Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) scan of the thorax.

High-risk participants shall, if their previous scan revealed no significant findings, continue to receive repeat LDTC Scans every 2 years until such time as they have passed the maximum eligibility age for the programme.

The TLHC Service Provider will work collaboratively with the Authority, Primary Care, Secondary Care, and Public Health Smoking Cessation Services to ensure the successful delivery of the TLHC Programme.

It is envisaged that the contract will be for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for up to a further 24-month period with an estimated total value of £8,430,257.00 VAT Exempt. Please note revenues will be contingent on patient uptake rates and commensurate with the number of TLHCs and LDCT scans delivered during the contract period.

The Authority has set a budget threshold per annum excluding VAT based upon the forecast activity. The Authority shall not consider Bids that are unaffordable and above the budget threshold. Bids shall be considered as to whether they have met this requirement as part of the Basic Selection Criteria Evaluation, Selection Questionnaire SQ5.3. Any bid that exceeds the threshold set shall be rejected and not progress to the scored evaluation.

NHS Standard Contract Terms and Conditions will apply. The anticipated Contract go-live date is the 1st March 2025.
