Summary of the contracting process

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is undertaking a public procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) to contract a provider for the MSK Diagnostic Service (Ultrasound) in Portsmouth. This procurement process, not governed by the standard Public Contract Regulations 2015, aims to identify the most suitable provider without conducting a competitive tender exercise. The service documents specify the awarding of a contract for medical imaging services, classified under CPV 85150000, and will be conducted for approximately two days per month in Portsmouth, with necessary equipment and personnel supplied by the provider. A future notice regarding this procurement is expected to be published by 16 March 2026, following its update on 12 February 2026.

The tender presents a promising opportunity for growth to businesses that specialise in medical imaging services with a focus on musculoskeletal diagnostics. Companies with a solid presence in the healthcare sector and the capacity to provide comprehensive diagnostic solutions will find this contract rewarding. Being able to offer a site, adequately trained staff, and ultrasound equipment within the Portsmouth area will be crucial. As the process bypasses a competitive bidding exercise, organisations with a proven track record in similar services and established relationships within the healthcare system may have an advantageous position.
