Summary of the contracting process

The Bristol & Weston NHS Purchasing Consortium has awarded a contract for the "West of England Imaging Network - Imaging Framework" to Intelerad Medical Systems Inc. The procurement process, which was an open procedure with a total estimated value of GBP 49,850,000, aimed to develop a digital infrastructure enabling radiology image sharing across Trusts in the West of England. The awarded contract, signed on 20 January 2025, spans a four-year tender period starting from 5 January 2025 to 4 January 2029. This framework covers four lots: PACS, RIS, a sharing solution, and associated storage, allowing all Trusts in the network to efficiently procure necessary digital solutions as their current contracts expire. The procurement was hosted by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and managed through Bristol & Weston’s e-procurement system SAP Ariba.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on digital health technologies, particularly those capable of providing robust and scalable imaging solutions. SMEs with expertise in software packages and information systems are well-suited to compete due to the procurement’s emphasis on secure, resilient, and efficient sharing of radiology images. Businesses capable of servicing long-term contracts and delivering adaptable solutions that meet the evolving needs of healthcare providers, such as PACS and RIS integrated systems, will find this framework particularly attractive. The framework will help these companies establish a strong presence in the healthcare sector and enable significant business growth as they support Trusts in achieving improved patient outcomes through advanced imaging technologies.
