Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Princess Alexandra NHS Trust procured a mobile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) service for medical imaging in Watford, England, supporting activity at or around the WD18 0HB location. The requirement is classified as medical imaging services and falls within the services category. The work involves supplying mobile MRI capability rather than purchasing imaging equipment as a standalone goods order. It is relevant to organisations that operate mobile diagnostic imaging services, provide MRI scanning capacity, or support NHS imaging delivery. The buying organisation is Princess Alexandra NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The named service requirement is specific to mobile MRI provision for this NHS trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Princess Alexandra NHS Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Inhealth Limited was awarded the contract on 26 August 2026 for £167,660. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 24 September 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £167,660. The submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was treated as a service procurement, with suitability recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. No lot split is identified.

This award demonstrates demand from Princess Alexandra NHS Trust for externally delivered mobile MRI capacity, using a framework call-off route. Competitors seeking to serve a future requirement from this buyer would need to operate a mobile MRI service capable of delivering medical imaging in a hospital or clinical setting around Watford. They would also need the operational capacity to mobilise and provide scanning services for a defined NHS requirement, rather than offering general imaging consultancy or fixed-site equipment alone. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that scale and established delivery capability were relevant to the market for this requirement. Framework access is commercially important for reaching similar call-offs.
