Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Anglia Commissioning Support Unit is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for "Community Scanning Services - Ultrasound and MRI" within the health services category. This initiative is focused on providing community MRI and ultrasound scanning services to patients across the Norfolk and Waveney region. The engagement period ends on 23rd February 2018, at 23:59, when interested providers must submit their responses to the Request for Information (RFI) to indicate their interest and outline how they could support this service. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000, and submissions should be returned to the contact point, James Savill, via the provided email before the deadline.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in imaging services. Companies that engage in the delivery of health-related services or have expertise in MRI and ultrasound technologies would be particularly well-suited to compete. This early market engagement invites organisations to help shape the future service provision and potentially participate in the competitive re-commissioning process once the initial RFI responses are evaluated.
