Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

King’s College Trust procured two Siemens Magnetom Flow Elite magnetic resonance imaging scanners, including supply, delivery, installation and commissioning. The equipment replaces two end-of-life Neuro MRI systems, Units 1 and 3, whose operational and clinical safety lifespan has ended. The investment is intended to restore and maintain diagnostic imaging capacity and support compliance with national waiting-time standards. This is a goods procurement for delivery to the Trust’s site in Coldharbour Lane, London, SE5 9NY. It concerns specialist MRI equipment and magnetic resonance units, suitable for businesses supplying clinical imaging systems and associated installation and commissioning services. The requirement is focused on replacing existing neuro-imaging capacity rather than providing general diagnostic imaging services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 July 2026 to Siemens Healthcare Limited, trading as Siemens Healthineers. The awarded contract value is £2,419,800. The contract runs from 3 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at noon. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The award is active and covers the complete two-scanner requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from King’s College Trust for specialist neuro-imaging replacement projects involving high-end MRI equipment rather than routine medical supplies. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to clinically suitable MRI systems, the technical ability to supply and deliver them, and experienced engineering teams able to install, commission and replace existing equipment safely. Businesses would also need to understand the operational requirements of an NHS diagnostic imaging environment and support the restoration of imaging capacity against national waiting-time standards. The scale and specialist nature of the purchase favour established medical-equipment manufacturers, authorised healthcare technology suppliers and delivery partners with sufficient technical, logistical and commissioning capacity.
