The buyer for this contract is the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, located in Brighton, United Kingdom. This contract involves medical imaging services classified under the CPV code 85150000. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set to begin on 22nd April 2026 and end on 31st March 2027. The tender, valued at £1,745,162.43, required the provision of a relocatable MRI scanning service staffed by two radiographers for 12 hours daily, excluding Christmas Day. Key dates include the award date of 21st April 2026 and the prior tender completion on 26th March 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the medical imaging sector aiming to expand their client base by serving public healthcare organisations. Companies like Compleo Health Limited, which has secured the award, can benefit from a substantial contract value and the potential for a one-year extension. The procurement process was selective, indicating that firms with established framework agreements or those capable of forming such collaborations are well-placed to compete. However, the tender's suitability excludes SMEs and VCSEs, suggesting that larger or more specialised companies would find this opportunity ideal for growth in the healthcare services industry.
