Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is set to enter the award stage for the procurement of a fully staffed mobile CT unit under the Provider Selection Regime Wales. The contract concerns medical imaging services, specifically the insourcing of a mobile CT scanner, with Diagnostic Healthcare Ltd selected as the provider. The tender is classified under the CPV code 85150000, with operations to be carried out in Cardiff & Vale, UK. The key procurement date is 27 January 2026, marking the start of the standstill period, with providers required to submit any representations by 5 February 2026. The service includes a GE Revolution Evo CT scanner and will operate seven days a week, offering comprehensive imaging services across various medical pathways with an initial term from 9 February to 8 April 2026 and an optional extension until 8 July 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging services and equipment technology. The contract, valued at approximately £352,170 excluding VAT for a potential six-month term, is ideal for companies in the healthcare technology industry capable of providing specialised diagnostic imaging equipment and clinical staff. Businesses aligning with NHS supply frameworks and maintaining high standards of clinical governance, such as adherence to ISO standards, are well-positioned to compete in similar future opportunities. The limited competition, due to the specific technical and operational requirements of this procurement, highlights an opportunity for firms that can meet these specialised needs promptly.
