The procurement focuses on insourcing neurophysiology diagnostic services, aiming to enhance capacity, diminish diagnostic wait times, and ensure alignment with national standards. The awarded contract is expected to commence on 10th February 2026, initially for a 12-month period but extendable up to 36 months. Key decision-makers include Clive McFarlane, Satinder Bath, Robert Watkins, and Julian Miller, with no conflicts of interest declared. The standstill period ends on 9th February 2026, and this procurement follows an open procedure under an "intention to award" notice, signalling the completion of the tender stage.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses with expertise in neurophysiology services and a capability to integrate with existing healthcare structures.

Given the competitive and innovative criteria outlined, including social value and access to health care, businesses that prioritise quality, service sustainability, and patient access have a strategic advantage in this procurement.
