Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured echocardiography insourcing services. The requirement is for clinical echocardiography, meaning specialist heart ultrasound services delivered by an external provider to support the Trust’s healthcare provision. It is classified as a health service and sits within the Trust’s clinical operations. The procurement concerns service delivery for the Trust rather than the purchase of equipment or construction works. The named supplier is Medinet Clinical Services Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement is structured as a specialist clinical service capable of being delivered by an appropriately resourced healthcare provider. The procurement’s delivery location is within the United Kingdom.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust used a selective call-off mini-competition from the HTE TWS (3) Clinical Insourcing Solutions Framework. The tender deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Medinet Clinical Services Ltd on 31 July 2026 for £296,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award covers the full echocardiography insourcing requirement, with no separate lots identified. The procurement was categorised as a services contract, and the published process records the award outcome and supplier selected.

For a supplier assessing future work with this NHS trust, the procurement demonstrates established demand for outsourced echocardiography delivered through a clinical insourcing framework and mini-competition route. A credible competitor would need to provide specialist echocardiography capability, suitably qualified clinical staff, appropriate operational capacity and the ability to deliver an organised service for an NHS foundation trust. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so scale alone was not presented as a barrier to participation. Providers with experience of NHS clinical delivery, framework call-offs and reliable mobilisation of echo services would be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns to market.
