Specialised Reporting for Heart & Lung Checks (Ref: 2022/S 000-004338)

The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub's framework for the Provision of Specialised
Reporting for Heart and Lung Checks supports contracting authorities with current and future day to day
requirements that meet the highest industry standards.

The framework offers a cost effective, value for money solution, using suitably qualified and skilled
personnel to deliver radiology reporting and image interpretation for Heart and Lung Checks. The
framework has been based on the standards and requirements provided by the NHSE pilot scheme
for the Targeted Lung Health Checks Programme and is a compliant route to market for not only the
contracting authorities that are captured within the pilot schemes but all other contracting authorities that wish to undertake these services.

All consultant radiologists are experienced in lung cancer screening / providing cardiothoracic radiology
and meet standards as per RCR and BSTI guidance for lung cancer screening

• The framework offers harmonised pricing for both standard and urgent screening, giving value for money leading to greater economies of scale
• A contribution to improvements in patient care.
• Improved health through socially responsible procurement.
• Sharing of best practice and expertise.
