The NHS England National Breast Screening Service currently commissions screening for women age 50-70 years (47 to 73 years where they are participating in the age extension trial) on a three yearly basis. It also provides screening for women at a high risk of breast cancer, where screening is provided for a wider age range and on a more frequent basis; MRI screening is also available where it is indicated. The service is the Clinical provision of Breast Screening which will be offered to a specific geographical area. NHS England (London) will wish to receive Expressions of Interest only at this stage from organisations, with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to provide the range of services as set out in the accompanying documentation.
