The contract, valued at £15,600,000, was signed on 28th November 2025 and will run for an initial duration of five years with an option to extend for up to three additional years.

Partners Procurement Service ("PPS") on behalf of North Central London Integrated Care System (NCL ICS) Imaging Network (Great Ormond Street Hospital For Children NHS Foundation Trust, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, Royal, Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Whittington Health NHS Trust), herein referred to as ImageWise is issued an Invitation to Tender ("ITT") in connection with a competitive procurement to establish a Framework Agreement for the Provision of a Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) and a Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) solution across NCL providers via an Open Procedure.

Options: The duration of the services is anticipated to be for five (5) years with the option to extend for up to three (3) years (2+1). Whilst ImageWise is conscious that the maximum term of a framework agreement awarded under the PCR is usually four years, exceptional circumstances apply in respect of the PACS service which justify the award of an eight-year framework. Substantial investments are required for acquiring the service and the extensive time will be required for the supplier to mobilise and implement a PACS service effectively. This extended timeframe ensures adequate return on investment and supports the stable, long-term operation necessary for successful deployment.
