Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust have recently completed a procurement process for "Radiology Contrast Media" with the awarding of a contract under a selective procurement method. The process, initiated via a call-off from the SBS Framework (Reference 10257), covers the provision of X-ray contrast media and associated products with injectors. The agreement is scheduled from 6th October 2025 to 24th March 2028, with an estimated spend of £160,099.93 (excluding VAT). The framework agreement draws businesses interested in serving the healthcare industry, particularly those operating within the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for large-scale suppliers operating within the medical supplies sector. As a selective procurement via a framework agreement, it appeals to established suppliers with the capability to meet the NHS's demanding standards for quality and reliability. Although the contract has been awarded to Bayer Public Limited Company, this highlights the potential for similar opportunities within the NHS framework that may suit large companies experienced with supplying hospital-grade medical goods and equipment. Businesses not qualified as SMEs or VCSEs are best positioned for future comparable opportunities.
