Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a sonography managed service to increase capacity for ultrasound scanning. The service supplements the Trust’s own sonographers and is intended to help it meet scanning targets. This is a healthcare service provided by medical personnel, delivered for the Trust in Bradford, at its Duckworth Lane site. The requirement is therefore relevant to diagnostic imaging providers, sonography service operators and organisations able to supply qualified ultrasound scanning staff and managed-service capacity. It concerns service delivery rather than the supply of ultrasound equipment. The buyer is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and the service supports its hospital diagnostic operations in Bradford.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 May 2026 to Diagnostic Healthcare Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £293,113.33, while the awarded value was £351,736. The tender submission deadline was 31 May 2026 at 12:00. One supplier is identified for the award. The opportunity was classified as a services contract, with medical personnel services as its primary classification. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this award shows that Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust uses an outsourced sonography service to supplement internal staffing and increase ultrasound scanning capacity. A credible competitor would need to provide qualified sonography professionals, organise reliable clinical coverage and operate a managed service that can integrate with hospital diagnostic workflows. It would also need sufficient capacity to help the Trust meet scanning targets, rather than offering isolated individual appointments. Diagnostic imaging providers with established NHS-facing delivery arrangements, strong workforce planning and the ability to maintain consistent service performance would be well placed. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that specialist independent providers can deliver this type of requirement, although the procurement itself was not marked as SME-suitable.
