Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde initiated a procurement for a Mobile Community Diagnostics Service, which includes services such as ultrasound, X-ray, and IVD solutions. Although initially planned for the festive period of 2025, the latest stage shows that the tender was cancelled in June 2026. This procurement was managed under a limited procedure, with no prior publication of a call for competition, and covered services to be provided within community settings across NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, specifically in the Glasgow region (UKM82). The procurement process intended to address an immediate and comprehensive service requirement using sustainable, single-operator mobile diagnostic units. However, a contract had previously been awarded in November 2025 to Sovereign Talents, valued at £1,000,000 GBP, which was active until sometime later in 2026.

This tender, although cancelled, outlines a promising avenue for businesses specialising in innovative diagnostic solutions, particularly those capable of integrating advanced tele-diagnostic platforms. Companies with expertise in portable medical imaging and integration with healthcare IT systems, preferably capable of quick setup and operation by a single individual, would have found this a significant opportunity to expand their services within the UK's public health sector. This initiative highlights the importance of agile service provision that can meet stringent requirements for rapid diagnosis and reporting, providing future opportunities for suppliers who can demonstrate quick scalability and technical interoperability within the healthcare industry. As the service is described as currently embryonic, there may be forthcoming opportunities for further market competition at the end of 2026.

Notice Title

Mobile Community Diagnostics Service (Ultrasound, X Ray, IVD Solution)

Notice Description

There is a immediate service requirement (festive period 2025) for a mobile community diagnostics service which delivers comprehensive mobile community diagnostics vehicle capable of supporting x-ray, ultrasounds and IVD as a single solution. The diagnostics equipment must be designed to fit into a conventional vehicle operated by one person (for LEZ and carbon zero applicability) and must be able to be deployed in the community, places of residence (including tenement flats etc) and care homes. Due to the nature turnaround times of reports must be within 1 hour for image/test acquisition. It must have an immediate all-in-one solution with connectivity with a native tele-diagnostics self-contained platform covering plain film and cross-sectional reporting and be interoperable with Board systems using HL7 standards for data exchange. Any vendor must provide full end-to-end acceptance testing with the Health Board before go-live, including validation of equipment, workflows, and connectivity. Local engineering support must be available within 120 minutes of call-out and have an equipment contingency plan delivered within 24 hours should a fault be reported. Patients must be treated and outcome reported whilst within the community setting therefore reporting required in an hour in order to ensure we complete with prescribing or additional requests before the radiographer (advanced practice) leaves the home.
