Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board, who has initiated a tender for health services, specifically focusing on echocardiography, ECG, and Holter services. The procurement falls under the health services category, with the region designated as UKK4. NHS Cornwall has opted for a direct award, procuring services from Ultracardiac Limited without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the Provider Selection Regime as per Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award, dated 14th November 2025, signifies a contract starting from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with the contract holding a lifetime value of £2,878,365, including extension possibilities up to an additional year.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for health service providers operating in the physiologic measurement and diagnostic sectors. Ultracardiac Limited's strategic renewal of services allows for expanded referrals to all General Practice surgeries within the region, enhancing business scope and service integration. With the procurement conducted under a limited method favouring repeat services, companies with established relationships within NHS frameworks and who specialise in cardiology diagnostics are likely to benefit most. This contract opportunity underscores the advantages for large-scale enterprises such as Ultracardiac seeking to expand their footprint in the public health sector through tailored and continued service delivery.
