NHS SY ICB - Targeted Lung Health Check - Additional Cohorts

NHS SY ICB are awarding a contract for the fully managed Mobile Targeted Lung Health Checking service, under the PSR Most Suitable Provider regime.

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.

SY ICB are looking to commission and facilitate Mobile Targeted Lung Health Checks (TLHC) in conjunction with already commissioned service across SY ICB. These services in particular are to enable additional cohorts including but not limited to aged in patients, those moved into the area and initial ‘non-responders’ are given the opportunity to have a lung health check undertaken. This service must be delivered in conjunction with existing services within SY ICB to allow for the best use of resources for SY ICB while ensuring equality of all patients included in the programme both previously and currently.

The purpose of including these additional cohorts is to promote health inequalities and demonstrate SY ICB’s commitment to deliver upon national guidance to ensure all those eligible are receiving health checks. The provider must be able to fit into and extend the current commissioned services to ensure best use of resources by filling current scanner appointments while ensuring additional cohorts as described above are invited to attend in line with these already established locations and processes.

This notice is an intention to award a contract under the most suitable provider process.

This is a new service to be provided by the existing provider.

The contract will run for approx. 4 years form the date of the award of the contract. Additional information: Please note, the contract has not been awarded as yet as per section V.1.0.1. This notice is an intention to award a contract under the most suitable provider process. As detailed in II.2.4.1 above.
