Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB has awarded a contract for Non-Obstetric Ultrasound Services (NOUS), classified under medical imaging services, to Harmonic Medical Sonography Limited. This direct award contract, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, commences on 18th October 2024 and will run until 31st December 2025 with a total value of approximately £625,000. The contract was awarded via a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition, as the existing provider is meeting the current contractual requirements and is likely to satisfy the new contract terms efficiently. Key dates include the contract award on 1st October 2024 and the standstill period which allowed representations from providers until 17th October 2024.

This contract presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in medical imaging services, particularly those capable of providing high-quality, consistent ultrasound services. SMEs like Harmonic Medical Sonography Limited, which successfully secured this contract, demonstrate that smaller entities have a competitive edge in winning public tenders under specialised procurement regimes. Companies with expertise in medical diagnostics and extensive experience in delivering healthcare services are well-suited to compete for such contracts, thereby expanding their market share and enhancing their service delivery portfolio within the NHS framework.
