Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust procured diagnostic imaging services for its Oxford Road Campus: CT and MRI scans supporting cardiac healthcare. The requirement falls within health services and covers the provision of clinical diagnostic scanning rather than the supply of general equipment. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s Oxford Road Campus in the M41 5SL area of Manchester. The buyer is Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, based at Trafford General Hospital in Davyhulme. The requirement is relevant to providers operating diagnostic imaging services, particularly organisations able to deliver both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans within an NHS clinical setting.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used an open tender initiation with an other procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12 noon, and the award was made on 31 July 2026. The tender’s estimated value was £424,080, while the awarded value was £500,000. NUFFIELD HEALTH was selected as the supplier. The award contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract covers one requirement for cardiac CT and MRI diagnostic scans at the Oxford Road Campus. The procurement was classified as health services and was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award confirms demand from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust for outsourced cardiac diagnostic imaging combining CT and MRI scanning. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need established clinical imaging operations, access to suitable CT and MRI capacity, and the ability to provide both modalities as an integrated service. Experience of delivering diagnostic scans for NHS patients and working within NHS clinical, governance and operational arrangements would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier is a large healthcare organisation, indicating that the requirement was met by a provider with substantial organisational capacity. Businesses tracking this buyer should focus on cardiac imaging capability rather than general healthcare or standalone equipment supply.
