What is being bought

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NHS LSC ICB) is currently developing their Service Specification, contracting process and commercial model for The Provision of LSC Adult Teledermatology Service, to include a SkinHub, community-based image capture spoke sites and Central Virtual Triage (CVT) across Lancashire and South Cumbria. NHS LSC ICB are therefore seeking feedback from potential providers in for the form of a Market Engagement Questionnaire/Market Engagement feedback.

This includes the training and clinical oversight of all image-capture related activities. The provider will need to facilitate the receipt of GP referrals to the SkinHub and ensure 100% coverage for GP practices to access SkinHub. • A minimum of 10 Image Capture Spoke Sites • Image capture sites will be determined by the SkinHub provider and should be based on patient numbers, geographical and travel considerations making consideration to minimising health inequalities for patients and accessibility/availability of community-based estate to deliver image-capture. 10 image capture sites are funded within the contract value which is perceived to be adequate to cover LSC ICB area (which includes coverage of all sub-ICB areas; Blackburn w/Darwen, Blackpool, Chorley and South Ribble, East Lancashire, Fylde & Wyre, Greater Preston, Lancashire North, West Lancashire). • Clinical Central Virtual Triage (CVT) • Image capture sites will be determined by the SkinHub provider and should be based on patient numbers, geographical and travel considerations making consideration to minimising health inequalities for patients and accessibility/availability of community-based estate to deliver image-capture. 10 image capture sites are funded within the contract value which is perceived to be adequate to cover LSC ICB area (which includes coverage of all sub-ICB areas; Blackburn w/Darwen, Blackpool, Chorley and South Ribble, East Lancashire, Fylde & Wyre, Greater Preston, Lancashire North, West Lancashire).

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Patient-administration system (48814200); 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.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 483,2621 median · 6 average (1,073 of 3,262 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,216 of 3,262 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
