This contract is intended to enhance early diagnosis and reduce referrals to secondary care by shifting activity into primary care settings.

NHS Surrey Heartlands has awarded the contract to Diagnostic Ultrasound Service, a current provider, with an approximate value of £580,000 for a term from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, and is primarily judged on quality, as per regulations outlined in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This contract offers significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises equipped in the delivery of specialised medical imaging services. Companies focusing on innovative healthcare solutions and community-based services would find the contract appealing. The service aims to improve healthcare accessibility by providing diagnostics closer to patients' homes, aligning with current trends towards decentralised healthcare systems and reducing travel-related costs for patients. This initiative not only supports local employment but also contributes positively to the local healthcare infrastructure, making it an attractive option for businesses aligned with value-driven and community-centric healthcare provision.
