Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust bought medical physics quality assurance and expert services for its mammography screening programme. The work is specialist healthcare support for screening: providing the quality assurance and expert input needed for mammography services. Delivery is stated to be in South East England. The procurement is categorised as medical specialist services (CPV 85121200). Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust was selected to provide the service. This requirement is specifically tied to mammography screening, rather than general medical physics or unrelated hospital services, so it is most relevant to organisations with the expertise to support the quality and technical requirements of a screening programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust used a direct, single-tender action below threshold. The estimated procurement value and awarded contract value were both £35,861.80. The award date was 19 May 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The process was not divided into lots. The published suitability settings marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates demand for specialist medical physics support focused on mammography screening quality assurance and expert services. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in medical physics for mammography, and the ability to provide the quality assurance and expert input required by a screening programme. The selected provider was a large NHS trust, indicating that this requirement was delivered by an established healthcare organisation; the published suitability settings also indicate that the opportunity was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The route used for this purchase was a single-tender direct action below threshold, so experience of delivering this narrowly defined service is central to assessing commercial relevance.
