Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has concluded the procurement process for providing a Diagnostic Imaging Service at North Cambridgeshire Hospital, Wisbech. This contract, titled "NWAFT Diagnostics 2527," falls under the 'Medical hospital services' category and is classified as services. The procurement utilised a direct award method, in compliance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the typical public contracts regulations. This award was officially confirmed on 2nd December 2025, and the service provision is set from April 1st, 2025 to March 31st, 2027, with the total contract valued at £620,000. All services are to be carried out during weekdays, from 09:00 to 17:00, excluding bank holidays.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for providers specialising in hospital and diagnostic services. Given the contract's focus, businesses with expertise in managing or staffing diagnostic services within hospital environments will find this a lucrative opportunity. With services to be carried out over a two-year term, businesses equipped with efficient operational processes and experienced health service professionals will be adequately prepared to meet the contract's demands. The location in Cambridgeshire and the non-competitive direct award process suggest a steady engagement, suitable for entities familiar with local NHS operations or interested in expanding their regional presence.
