Pipeline Framework: NHS-Galleri National Operations Service

A pipeline has been launched for NHS-Galleri National Operations Service.The contract start Date is 1 April 2024. Approach to market date is 7 August 2023.NHS England is looking to award a contract to an organisation to provide a National Operations Service to support the NHS-Galleri Interm Implementation Pilot. The requirements are: i) to develop a call centre to manage all booking and query calls for participants & public in a timely way, ii) to process suspected cancer results, manage clinical queries, supporting participants with referral, iii) to invite selected cohort, support capacity and demand with the digital Galleri Pilot System (GPS) and local sites.We have created a preliminary market consultation document to engage with potential suppliers ahead of issuing the contract notice. The document includes an overview of the programme, an outline of what the procurement is looking to achieve and timescales. The document also includes a Questionnaire which seeks information from suppliers to identify any elements of the planned contract that could be altered. There will be a market engagement webinar hosted on the 7th of September from 11.00-12.30 to provide additional details of the scope and tender process. Those unable to attend the live event will have access to the presentation and FAQs when the tender is published. The programme is still at the approval stages and may not result in a tender or contract opportunity, but we would welcome responses to the questionnaire by the 30th of August so these can be considered. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact england.cancerpolicy@nhs.net below to request the preliminary market consultation document.This is a potential opportunity from the government, and the pipeline gives advance notice of an opportunity that might be offered by the public sector in the future – allowing potential suppliers to plan accordingly. When a public sector organisation publishes a pipeline notice, it does not necessarily mean that an opportunity will be offered in the future.For more information contact: NHS England, Quarry House, Leeds LS2 7UE.
