Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured medical imaging services for its MRI (MR) insourcing requirement. The work is to provide imaging services for the Trust in Manchester, at its Wilmslow Road site. The requirement sits within healthcare services and concerns medical imaging rather than the supply of imaging equipment. The service is buyer-specific: suppliers would need to deliver the MR insourcing requirement for this NHS foundation trust and its clinical setting. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from a framework agreement, so it reflects demand fulfilled through an existing framework route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Managed Healthcare Services Limited on 12 June 2026. The recorded contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 3 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 April 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s estimated value was £102,486.80, while the award value is recorded as £10; these are distinct figures in the published data. The requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lot breakdown or award evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

The award demonstrates that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust buys MR insourcing as a defined medical imaging service, using a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. Managed Healthcare Services Limited, recorded as an SME, was selected for this requirement. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to show it can provide MR imaging services within an NHS trust setting and meet the operational demands of delivering the service at the Trust’s Manchester site. Experience organising and delivering medical imaging capacity for a healthcare provider would be directly relevant. The published requirement does not describe particular qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or technical specifications, so no more specific competitive capability can be inferred.
