Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust procured a healthcare service for delivering vascular scans. The requirement is classified as health services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site in Davyhulme, Manchester, at Trafford General Hospital, M41 5SL, with the wider delivery location identified as the United Kingdom. The service is intended for an NHS foundation trust and concerns the provision of vascular scanning rather than the supply of scanning equipment alone. The selected supplier, Tomorrow Cardiovascular Ltd, is based at Wythenshawe Hospital, Southmoor Road, Manchester. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations that provide clinical vascular scanning services and can operate within an NHS hospital setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bids closed on 3 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Tomorrow Cardiovascular Ltd on 29 July 2026 for £2,948,958.54. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The original estimated procurement value was £2,948,960. The process used a tender initiation and an ‘Other’ procurement method. The award is active, and the tender record identifies the procurement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award covers the vascular scanning service for the full contract period. No lots are identified, so the award relates to the requirement as a whole rather than separate packages of work.

This award provides a clear indication of sustained NHS demand for outsourced or commissioned vascular scanning services at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver vascular scans reliably in a hospital environment, support the clinical and operational requirements of an NHS foundation trust, and maintain sufficient capacity for a service of substantial multi-year scale. Providers should be able to demonstrate practical experience of delivering vascular scanning rather than only supplying diagnostic equipment. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that size alone did not prevent participation, although the procurement was formally marked as unsuitable for SMEs. Businesses with an established clinical delivery model, appropriately capable staff and the operational resilience to provide an ongoing service would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
