Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust is undertaking the procurement process titled "Insourcing of Cardio Physiologist" under the services category, specifically targeting cardiology services or pulmonary specialists. Located in Salford, United Kingdom, the contracting authority has finalised its intention to award the contract to MediServices Healthcare Ltd, effective between 4th December 2025 and 3rd December 2026, valued at £35,000.00. The procurement commenced with a direct award process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), exempt from Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and has reached an award stage with the publication date on 4th December 2025. The contract encompasses the provision of specialised cardio physiologist services equipped to handle pacemaker and MRI scanning requirements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those proficient in cardiology and pulmonary specialisations, to expand their reach and collaborate with renowned health authorities like the Northern Care Alliance. Firms that have previous experience with NHS contracts and possess expertise in advanced cardiovascular medical imaging technologies are ideally positioned to compete in this sector. With MediServices Healthcare Ltd established as the initial supplier, the contract allows other SMEs in similar specialisms to consider future participation in similar public health assignments, helping to bolster their industry reputation and operational scale.
