Summary of the contracting process

The Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHNHSFT) is initiating a procurement process for Teleradiology Reporting Services, classified under medical imaging services (CPV: 85150000). The process is currently in the planning stage, with pre-market engagement activities set to take place by early March 2025 and suppliers are encouraged to confirm participation by 7th February 2025. The procurement, subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, will formally begin in April 2025, with the contract award expected by September 2025. The Authority will conduct virtual meetings for feedback on the procurement, which spans a total contract value of £12 million for a duration of four years. The services are required to assist in meeting the increasing demand for diagnostic and interventional imaging procedures throughout the Gloucestershire Hospitals region, UKK1.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical imaging, particularly those with experience in remote reporting services like CT, MRI, and subspecialties including neuroradiology and paediatric imaging. The contract includes the provision of consistent and timely diagnostic reports to support patient care and meet national timelines. Companies capable of delivering high-quality teleradiology services efficiently would be well-suited for this contract, allowing them to expand their market reach and demonstrate expertise in handling escalating demands in a financially sustainable manner. Participation in the pre-market engagement could offer valuable insights and position suppliers advantageously ahead of the formal procurement process.
