## About this tender

NHS England & Improvement are currently defining the procurement strategy for the Hepatitis C National Testing Portal and wish to engage suppliers as part of pre-market engagement. The Hepatitis C programme aims to achieve elimination in England by the WHO target of 2030 and has a UK government ambition to achieve this by 2025. There are 22 Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs) covering England who are responsible for case finding and treating people with Hepatitis C. At risk groups have been identified and are being prioritised for remote (at home) testing and treatment services. , However they all have different user needs, digital capability and understanding of Hepatitis C. These groups need to be able to order tests, receive results, treatment and have any at risk contacts traced to prevent spread of infection.

The following service is to be procured:

- Web portal to allow people at risk to order a postal HCV test, with lab processing and results notification system.
- Clinic booking via the web portal to allow Hepatitis C positive people to access treatment (includes community outreach clinics and van visits).
- Contact tracing i) to allow people to anonymously notify others via the portal that they have been inadvertently exposed e.g. by autogenerated text and e-mail ii) by suitably experienced members of staff gathering contacts from the person diagnosed with Hepatitis C and following up the 'contacts' to offer Hepatitis C screening within a set protocol (e.g. 4 attempts to contact over 2 months) Ideally one company is required to support all 3 elements.

The portal can be accessed here:
