The scheme demonstrates a commitment from the UK to pharmaceutical innovation, providing a platform for drugs to be brought to patients at a much faster rate than ever before. We are looking for organisations that will work closely with the team to inform their wider work in developing possible solutions to the challenges of workstream 2 i.e. how the current UK landscape for development and regulation of new healthcare technologies could be streamlined and future-proofed. This review of EAMS will look at whether and how EAMS has accelerated development of new products, gathering evidence and providing analytical support to workstream 2. This work will be delivered in parallel with a significant piece of work looking at how the current UK landscape for development and regulation of new healthcare technologies could be streamlined and future-proofed (for which see ITT ref number 59941). Additional information: Refer to the attached instructions document for instructions on how to respond to this ITT - (ITT ref 59959 - responses must be via BMS). ## CPV classification Evaluation consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b541053e-adc8-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
