Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, which is set to award a contract for the hire of a temporary MRI scanner solution at North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH). The contract is a service category under the main procurement category of medical imaging services, with a focus on the health industry. Scheduled between 2 February 2026 and 31 July 2026, the contract follows a direct award process, outlined under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. The contracting authority hasn't formally awarded the contract yet, and the notice indicates an intention to award, with representations by providers required by 1 February 2026. The procurement is executed without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in providing temporary medical imaging solutions, particularly those familiar with NHS procurement protocols. Companies like Radiology Management Solutions Limited, a current service supplier, exemplify the type of business well-suited for such an opportunity, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The focus is on existing suppliers who can meet selection and decision-making criteria and deliver consistent, high-standard service efficiently. Engaging in such contracts could bolster business growth by establishing or enhancing relationships with NHS bodies and expanding portfolios within the medical services sector.
