Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract entitled "Insourcing of Clinical Support Services" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement process, categorised under health services, follows a direct award method without prior publication due to the repetition of existing services. The contract value is £887,631.04 with an end date of 31 March 2026. Conducted as part of a service procurement, it was a direct award given the need for continuity in health services, specifically for additional echocardiography support required at both RVI and Freeman Hospitals in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those offering specialised clinical support services similar to Health Now Limited, the supplier awarded this contract. Companies capable of supplying trained echocardiographers on a flexible, as-needed basis are well-positioned to compete, especially within the framework agreements used by the NHS. This procurement emphasises opportunities for SMEs to engage in contracts where previously established services are required, promoting growth through reliable and high-demand service provision.
