NEL ICB Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) Screening Programme
NHS North East London Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking to Commission National Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) Services - Testing Service and Diagnostics Analysis Service.
The Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) Screening Programme aims to reduce the incidence of active tuberculosis (TB) through the early identification and treatment of individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis who do not have active disease.
By preventing progression to active TB, the programme contributes to the elimination of TB as a public health threat and supports national and global TB reduction strategies.
Specifically, the programme aims to:
• Prevent the development of active, transmissible TB through detection and treatment of LTBI;
• Protect public health by interrupting the chain of transmission within communities;
• Support national TB control and elimination goals;
• Promote health equity by ensuring access to screening and care for populations at increased risk.
The service aims to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) across the populations of Newham, Tower Hamlets, City & Hackney, Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham, and Waltham Forest.
The Contracts are expected to commence in October 2026 for an initial period of 6 months.
The contracts may be extended for an additional period of 12 Months at the sole discretion of the Authority.
The estimated value of the contracts for 18 Months is £1,301,640.15.
(£848,253.40 per annum, and the Initial 6 months is £453,386.75).
Please note that the contract award is subject to confirmed funding from NHS England.
