Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust recently conducted a public procurement process for "BTH Vascular Insourced Staffing Services," classified under the medical imaging services category. This procurement activity involved vascular insourced staffing with equipment requirements, to be provided seven days a week, at locations within the UKD4 region. The tender progressed through the planning and tender stages; however, it was ultimately cancelled as the awards did not result in a contract remaining within budget. Initially, the tender was subject to an open procedure, with procurement activities conducted via electronic submission, concluding the tender period on 14th September 2025 and the award phase by 8th October 2025. The Trust is located at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, Whinney Heys Road, Blackpool, United Kingdom.

This procurement process, although cancelled, highlights potential opportunities for suppliers specializing in medical imaging and staffing services who are interested in future tender opportunities with the NHS. Suppliers with legal and financial capacity, technical expertise in medical imaging systems integration, and the ability to provide qualified staffing solutions are well-suited to compete for similar tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as they can demonstrate a capacity to meet NHS requirements, enhance service sustainability, and offer social value. Future procurement opportunities can provide prospects for business expansion and establishing partnerships with large healthcare organisations like NHS Trusts.
