Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Hammersmith and Fulham Clinical Commissioning Group has awarded a contract titled "Direct Access Community Radiology" to InHealth Ltd for the provision of interim Community Direct Access Radiology services. This direct procurement method, executed as a single tender action, aims to maintain essential service continuity with a contract value of £250,278 for a six-month period, running from 1st April 2019 to 30th September 2019. The service, based in London, is crucial for enhancing diagnostics and managing patient care outside hospital settings, as identified challenges with capacity at local providers necessitated this award.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and diagnostic sectors, particularly those that can offer innovative radiology services or technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) ideally suited to compete should focus on delivering enhanced diagnostics capabilities, as the CCG plans to engage with the market for a comprehensive service model by the end of 2019. The interim arrangement with InHealth ensures a stable transition period for potential suppliers aiming to fulfil future contracts in this evolving healthcare landscape.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Direct Access Community Radiology

Notice Description

This contract award notice provides notification that NHS Hammersmith and Fulham Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG) has agreed to directly award an interim transitional contract for the provision of Community Direct Access Radiology services to InHealth Ltd, for a period of 6 months (until 30th September 2019). This interim contract is deemed essential to ensure a continuity of an essential service provision to the CCG's patients. The CCG considered transferring activity to its NWL acute providers but identified an increased likelihood of an adverse impact on quality and finance. NWL acute providers have confirmed they have insufficient capacity to accommodate increased activity. Issues with estates, equipment, and staffing would prevent providers from meeting KPIs and national diagnostic standards. During this interim period, the 6 CCGs will procure an enhanced Direct Access community radiology service with amendments to the current contract terms and conditions, including tariffs, service specification, quality requirements, and volume per modality. The enhanced service will enable earlier diagnostics/diagnoses of conditions and reduce the number of inappropriate referrals to secondary care. The service will also support the management of care outside of a hospital setting. The CCG has assessed that InHealth is the best provider to provide community direct access radiology for its patients as they are the incumbent and their selection will ensure no disruption to service. This contract will provide an interim transitional and stabilising arrangement with the provider until a new provider is selected. The CCGs plan to engage with the market during 2019 to assist development of its future specification of requirements, with the intention of informing the process to award substantive contracts to deliver the new models of care from October 2019 at the latest.
