Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust has concluded the contracting process for MRI scanning services with the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, located in Birmingham, UK. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically medical imaging services, and was executed through a limited procurement method without prior publication, as part of the 2023 Provider Selection Regime. The awarded contract, valued at £55,443.96, will provide MRI diagnostic scanning services on-site at ROH NHS Foundation Trust with provisions in place from 1st April 2025 to 31st July 2025. The process is now in the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 31st March 2025.

This tender offers substantial business growth potential for organisations capable of providing specialised medical imaging services, particularly MRI scanning. With the demand outpacing the capacity of local facilities like Queen Elizabeth Hospital, there's a notable opportunity for providers with the capability to deliver high-quality imaging that complies with trust radiologists' protocols. Larger healthcare service providers and specialised diagnostic companies with existing infrastructure and expertise in MRI services would be particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement opportunities, given the critical patient care requirements and the need for clinical cover and support for high-risk patients.
