## Description

The HPV self-sampling ISE will offer a portion of women eligible for cervical screening in England the choice between a clinician taken sample and a self-sample for HPV\. The UK NSC has appointed the University of Sydney to undertake a piece of cost-effectiveness modelling to understand the conditions under which harms will outweigh benefits for the offer of HPV self-sampling in the UK\. This is particularly important given that testing for HPV on a vaginal/urine self-sample could be slightly less sensitive than a clinician taken cervical sample\. Therefore, modelling is required to understand how the self-sampling offer under different uptake scenarios could impact on the number of screen-detected HPV and treated cervical lesion\. Contract term: 18 months with the option to extend for a period of up to 6 months\. Contract value \(including extensions\): £249,876 excluding VAT \(£299,852 including VAT\)\.
