Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust is centred around a contract for "Upright MRI Scanning" services intended to start in July 2025. The industry category is medical imaging services, and the location for service provision is Dudley, United Kingdom. This tender is in the "Award" stage as of 18th July 2025, following a direct award process under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime. The contract is set to last for one year, with an option to extend for an additional year, and it holds a total value of approximately £25,000. The procurement method applied here was a limited procedure without a prior call for competition.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the medical imaging services industry, particularly those capable of delivering specialised MRI services suitable for claustrophobic patients, patients unable to lie down, and those needing weight-bearing imaging. Companies like INHEALTH LIMITED, a large-scale provider, were involved in the process, highlighting the opportunity for similar experienced service providers. The nature of this direct award suggests that entities with a strong track record in healthcare service provision and the ability to comply with specific NHS requirements would be well-suited to compete in such processes.
