What is being bought

Following the publication of the “No One’s Listening” report the ACT NOW acronym was developed by clinicians and patients to support rapid and effective responses to sickle cell crisis for children and adults living with sickle cell disease. The acronym was rolled out across fourteen pilot sites in May 2024, with an additional wave of sites engaging in the autumn of 2024. NHS England require an evaluation of ACT NOW to understand the impact of the acronym and to inform further roll-out.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£19,518 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £30,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
