Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for this contract, titled "BCU-FCONC-61752-PET-CT," is being managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, part of Velindre University NHS Trust. It focuses on medical imaging services, specifically a PET CT service for North Wales and North Powys, crucial for conditions such as cancer. This is an intention to award notice under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, with Alliance Medical Limited identified as the successful provider. The procurement method was a direct award call-off without prior publication of a competition call, in line with the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. While the contract has not yet been formally awarded, a standstill period is in effect until 16th February 2026.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging services. With a contract value of £300,000, it is particularly suited to providers with a strong capacity in PET CT services and a commitment to quality, collaboration, and social responsibility. Businesses capable of improving access and reducing health inequalities are well-positioned to benefit. As the demand for PET CT grows in Wales, opportunities will extend beyond oncology to include neurological and cardiac conditions, presenting significant chances for growth to companies proficient in these areas. The direct call-off under the NHS Supply Chain Framework further suggests that well-established entities within this framework will have a strategic advantage.

This contract is to ensure the maintained availability of a North Wales based PET CT imaging service for the populations of North Wales and North Powys. PET CT is a form of specialised medical imaging involving the administration of radiopharmaceuticals and, in Wales, is a service commissioned by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (JCC). The availability of PET imaging is crucial in the management of a variety of diseases but particularly cancer. PET CT scans can provide greater staging certainty, increasing the likelihood of the correct therapeutic treatment option being chosen and reducing the use of sometimes unnecessary surgical approaches with high morbidity risks. PET CT has been shown to change proposed treatment in around 40% of cases. Staging certainty improves accuracy of cancer datasets which in turn allow outcomes to be more accurately attributed and understood. There is increasing use of PET CT in non-oncology indications with the recent adoption of inflammatory and infective indications. It is increasingly used in diagnosing neurological conditions and cardiac disease. PET CT access is governed in Wales by JCC Policy CP50. PET CT referrals need to fall within a restricted range of funded indications determined by JCC with any other cases only accepted if IPFR (Individual Patient Funding Requests) funding is made available. The clinical indications for PET-CT in Wales are currently less than for England but, as more capacity for PET CT becomes available, these will increase. This remarketing of the currently contracted service is set against a background of the successful support by Welsh Government approval of the OBC for consolidated PET-CT and Nuclear Medicine service within North Wales, due to open in 2027. This procurement will allow for the continuation of PET-CT service provision to the people of North Wales whilst this consolidated centre is built and established, at which point BCUHB will begin providing this commissioned service.
