Description

NHS Procurement Wales, on behalf of the Wales Cancer Network, wishes to invite proposals for the evaluation of the all-Wales Rapid Diagnosis Clinics (RDC) programme.
Evaluation is an integral part of the work we do within the Wales Cancer Network, and we use findings to facilitate learning, drive service improvement, inform future programme development, and guide decision-making. We are committed to assessing whether we have achieved our objectives and the processes which led to success (or not).
The RDC programme is a national initiative supporting Health Boards in Wales to provide General Practitioners (GPs) with a referral pathway and RDC to investigate vague symptoms that may be caused by cancer. The programme commenced in December 2020 and is due to complete in March 2023. A Rapid Diagnosis Clinic (RDC) provides a diagnostic route for patients with non-specific but concerning (vague) symptoms who do not fit into a standard Suspected Cancer Pathway, because of the absence of clear ‘red flag’ symptoms. RDCs aims to:
- Support earlier diagnosis for patients with vague, non-specific symptoms that could be cancer
- Reduce cancer diagnoses via emergency presentations
- Improve overall patient health outcomes by detecting cancer earlier
- Improve patient and GP experience
- Identify and manage other serious non-malignant disease or those at risk of developing serious illness
The aim of the evaluation is to provide an independent assessment of the RDC programme and deliverables to:
- communicate the impact, value and learning
- inform Health Board sustainability plans for RDCs across Wales
- inform future developments and programme approaches within the Wales Cancer Network

UKSPF Evaluation Project - Request for Proposal

Request for Proposal West Lancashire Borough Council is seeking a partner to conduct an evaluation of the UKSFP funding received into the Borough. This evaluation is being commissioned to create an integrated and independent account of what the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) has delivered in West Lancashire, and what can be learned to shape future investment. While the Council has achieved strong delivery across all three UKSPF priorities and its complementary REPF strand, formal evaluation has not been embedded into the programme to date. This presents a timely opportunity to consolidate fragmented insight, understand outcomes more clearly, and build a more structured approach to evidencing impact going forward.
