The procurement process for the "Hire of MRI Scanner Staffed and Unstaffed" contract involves the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, located in Trafford, UK. This procurement falls under the medical imaging services category and is part of the health industry. The procurement method used is a direct award process, specifically under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations, which exempt it from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract was awarded on 28th April 2025, with the contract period starting from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2026. This award stage is a confirmation of the award notice, concluding a process that began with an intention to award notice published on 15th April 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging services, particularly those that can provide MRI scanner hire services, both staffed and unstaffed. With an approximate lifetime contract value of £461,530, it caters to businesses capable of meeting the specific service criteria under the PSR. Companies like Radiology Management Solutions Limited, which was awarded a related contract, demonstrate that small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with a proven track record in such services could find growth opportunities through similar procurements from large health service providers, like the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. These types of tenders typically suit businesses with expertise in healthcare service provision and capability to deliver within specified regulatory frameworks.
