The procurement process, now complete, involved multiple contract awards, with the contract period commencing on 13 December 2021 and extending until 12 December 2026, with an option to extend for an additional 24 months.

Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find themselves well-positioned to compete for services within this framework. The framework also allows for new providers to join annually, thus incentivising innovation and competition among diverse healthcare providers. Successful businesses in this procurement can leverage the framework to strengthen their market presence and offer critical services in the NHS ecosystem.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Invitation to Tender For: Community Diagnostic Centres Framework Agreement

Notice Description

The National Health Service Commissioning Board (which uses the operational name "NHS England") has established a framework (the "Framework Agreement")from which NHS England and other NHS bodies (Clinical Commissioning Groups ("CCGs"), NHS Trusts and NHS Foundation Trusts (each a "Contracting Authority" and together the "Contracting Authorities")) have the ability to award contracts or sub-contracts for a range of clinical services to be provided from community diagnostic hubs (the "Services"). Please note, the name has changed from "Community Diagnostic Hubs". These will be known as "Community Diagnostic Centres" going forward. The framework is divided into a number of clinical diagnostic modalities and sub-modalities. Successful providers onto the framework (a "Provider" and "Providers") have, during the procurement process and potentially during the term of the framework, identify those modalities and sub-modalities which they are capable of providing in identified locations. A Framework Agreement has been entered into by NHS England on behalf of all Contracting Authorities with each successful Provider assessed as capable of providing such Services (or any of them) through this procurement process The term of each Framework Agreement awarded pursuant to this procurement is for [3] years with an option to extend for a further [24 month period] (the "Term"). However (as permitted pursuant to Regulation 74(7)), it is anticipated (but not guaranteed) that the Framework will: * be opened to new potential Providers every 12 months within the Term (in which case new Framework Agreements awarded shall be for the remaining length of the original Term only); and * be opened or "refreshed" at any time during the Term to allow new and existing Providers to apply for new modalities or sub-modalities relating to the Services. A total of 57 of the 87 bidders were successful in this procurement process. However, only 52 have had contracts fully signed at this point and therefore another 5 providers are due to be part of this Framework. Details of these 5 providers will be published if and when these contracts are fully signed. Providers on this framework are not guaranteed to receive any amount of work whilst this framework is live.
