Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for the "BTH25-026 SmartSpeed scanner software", designed to enhance the imaging capabilities of Philips MRI scanners. Classified under the scanner software package category (CPV: 48318000), the contract was awarded as part of a planned procurement process. Taking place in Bradford, with delivery locations spanning the United Kingdom and several international destinations, the procurement method used was selective, conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £80,000, covers the period from 25 March 2025 to 24 March 2026. The tender period closed on 24 February 2025, following its announcement in March 2025.

This procurement presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in radiology software development, particularly those producing AI-enhanced imaging solutions. While the initial award went to Philips Electronics UK Limited, firms with expertise in delivering advanced scanner software capable of improving speed and image quality for MRI scans can explore similar future opportunities with NHS Trusts. Companies should note that this procurement was not specifically targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, but those with a solid track record in innovative healthcare technology are well-positioned to compete in forthcoming tenders.
