Summary of the contracting process

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured insourced non-obstetric ultrasound services, classified as medical imaging services. The work was intended for the Trust’s sites in York and Scarborough, supporting delivery of ultrasound examinations within its hospital services. The requirement was for an external healthcare provider to supply the imaging service under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Alliance Health Group, trading through Alliance Surgical PLC, was identified as the intended provider in the procurement outcome. This is a healthcare services opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase, and is relevant to organisations providing diagnostic imaging capacity, ultrasound clinicians, equipment and associated clinical service management.

The process used the Provider Selection Regime competitive procedure, described as an open procedure, with bids evaluated on price and supplier suitability requirements set out in the invitation documents. Six bids were recorded. The procurement record initially identified Alliance Health Group as the successful supplier, with an award recorded as active and a contract signed on 5 June 2026 for £2,500,000. The planned contract period was 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option for two further six-month extensions; the tender estimated £1,000,000 for the initial period and up to £2,500,000 with extensions, while the tender value was £3,000,000. A later amendment states that the process was abandoned and no contract was awarded. The lot is marked cancelled.

For providers considering future diagnostic imaging work with this Trust, the requirement demonstrates demand for an outsourced, hospital-based non-obstetric ultrasound service across York and Scarborough. A credible competitor would need to provide suitably qualified ultrasound professionals, dependable clinical capacity and the operational management needed to integrate an insourced service into NHS hospital settings. The procurement also indicates that price was central to evaluation, while suitability requirements were set out in the invitation documents. Relevant organisations may include specialist medical imaging providers, independent healthcare groups and NHS-capable diagnostic service operators. Experience delivering safe, compliant ultrasound services at more than one hospital site, with robust staffing, governance, reporting and service continuity, would support a strong future response when this requirement is reconsidered.
