The geographical distribution of cases of decompression illness is determined by the local level of diving activity, and is concentrated around coastal areas, inland expanses of water and the locations of residence of the divers. Airports provide a significant minority of patients usually returning from a diving trip overseas. There is a total of approximately 150 - 200 cases in England per year.Gas embolismCases of gas embolism arise from introduction of gas into a patient’s circulation, most often inadvertently during a medical procedure (iatrogenic gas embolism). There are currently approximately 10 cases in England per year. However, this may be an underestimate of the number of actual cases.The Commissioner's assessment of each potential provider will take into account the basic selection criteria and the following key criteria:• Quality and innovation;• Value;• Integration, collaboration and service sustainability;• Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice; and• Social value.The Commissioner's assessment will be on a \[pass/fail\] basis If you believe your organisation can provide the full set of requirements, please register on the e-Tendering portal at [health-family.force.com/s/Welcome](https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome) against project reference C367512 to access the MSP documentation and submit your response.The deadline for submitting completed Expression of Interest Questionnaires and Declarations is 12pm, midday, on Wednesday 5th November 2025.It is anticipated that provider assessments will be completed between November and December 2025.
