Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) is in the process of awarding a contract for the provision of Upright MRI Scanning services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This intention to award notice marks the beginning of the standstill period, during which representations by providers must be made by 14th October 2024. The contract, valued at £110,000, is expected to begin on 1st November 2024 and will conclude on 31st October 2025. The procurement method followed is a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition, and it pertains to the medical imaging services industry category within the UKD3 region, specifically at Medserena Upright MRI Centre in Manchester.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the medical imaging sector, to engage with the NHS and provide essential diagnostic services. Companies specialising in MRI scanning, especially those with innovative upright MRI technologies, would be well-suited to compete. The NCA's evaluation highlights the importance of consistent service delivery, a criterion where potential bidders will need to demonstrate their capability effectively. This contract offers a substantial amount for a relatively short-term engagement, thus providing an opportunity for SMEs, like the current awardee Medserena Upright MRI Limited, to grow their business by securing a prominent NHS contract.
