This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation for suitably qualified respondents to submit a Proposal for the “Proportion and number of cancer cases and deaths attributable to modifiable exposures in New Zealand” project. The RFP is a closed competitive tender process. It is a single step procurement process.

The objective of this procurement process is to select suitably qualified research provider(s) to derive estimates of the proportion of certain cancer types which are attributed to modifiable exposures, and further analyse the results by different ethnicities and other population subgroups in New Zealand. Quantifying the potential impact of these modifiable exposures on cancer incidences can inform policymakers on how to develop targeted, evidence-based policy to facilitate cancer prevention and control strategies that prioritise equity and address disparities in cancer burden by taking a social investment approach. The World Health Organisation estimates that 30-50% of cancer cases are preventable, so this work has important implications for health at the individual, hapū, iwi, community, and health system levels.
This project will select a suitably qualified vendor/(s) to conduct a population attributable fraction study on cancer in the Aotearoa New Zealand population. The findings will play a pivotal role in guiding cancer prevention strategies by informing policymakers on the development of targeted, evidence-based policy to facilitate cancer prevention and control strategies.

The objectives of the research project are to:
1. estimate the proportion of preventable cancer cases and deaths in New Zealand which have established causal association with modifiable exposures.
2. provide disaggregated population-attributable fraction (PAF) estimates by ethnicity and other subpopulations to enable a more accurate measure of cancer burden and exposure factors within New Zealand’s diverse population.
3. identify and highlight data limitations encountered during the research process to inform future studies and guide improvements in data collection and reporting for better accuracy and comprehensiveness.

The Ministry welcomes proposals from individual research organisations, as well as collaborative submissions from multiple institutions.

This tender has been awarded. Total spend value $ 500,000.
