As I was idly browsing Aiforia’s old news, I suddenly came across this win from 2023. Aiforia receives a contract award to provide AI solutions for 25 NHS hospitals of the PathLAKE Plus consortium in the UK
The duration of the individual contracts with the hospitals will be three years, with a possible three-year extension.
Could this UK recruitment also apply to this potential three-year extension? Who knows, Barbie doesn’t. It would be nice to get extensions and sell a couple of new applications alongside.
The estimated volumes mentioned in the tender were 12888 cases annually (109166 slides) for prostate, and 2522 cases (28880 slides) annually for lung cancer PD-L1, with these numbers expected to increase annually.
So, an estimated 138046 samples initially with two applications, and the number was expected to increase annually. This means almost a million-euro contract at the start, with a sample price of 5-10 euros.
