Published requirement description

East & West Midlands Cancer Alliances Life Science Innovation and Partnership - Discovery stage via a number of virtual events to communicate with the market. Planning and delivery of the long term ambitions for Cancer Populations and to provide system oversight and coordination for Cancer services.

The project reference is C395670 and the closing date for submission of the completed Expression of Interest is 12pm, midday on Thursday 20 November 2025.

Description

The Cancer Alliances in the Midlands have initiated a program of work to harness partnerships with Life Science Industry to drive improvement in cancer outcomes in the Region

The aim of this initiative is to maximise the potential for co-investment between NHS, Industry and wider third sectors into innovation and transformation programs to achieve the ambition for our patients and populations. A core element of this vision is the focus on adoption and spread at scale across the Midlands for proven interventions and care models.

Together, we will drive innovation in cancer care – collaboration between NHS and industry to turn bold ideas into real-world impact for patients and communities.

Our primary objective is to accelerate delivery of these cancer targets by working together, allowing us to treat more patients and expand diagnostic capacity to reach this aim

Our scope and purpose of work in the program includes:

Focus innovation where it matters most - improving outcomes for our population and transforming how cancer care is delivered.

Unlock collaborative investment to accelerate projects with the power to spread and succeed across the system.

Show tangible results through measurable improvements in quality, value, outcomes, and experience- going further and faster than we could if we didn’t have this partnership

Embed innovation at scale, harnessing the collective strength of commissioning, improvement, and transformation partners.

Create a learning culture without barriers - a safe space to test, learn, and share what works, inspiring others to join the journey.
