This contract aims to provide outsourced imaging capacity, including MR scans for head and spine, primarily benefiting patients at Leighton Hospital in Crewe, United Kingdom. The procurement was executed under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, utilising a direct award process starting 2nd March 2026, and concluding on 31st March 2027. The contract's indicative lifetime value is approximately £120,000. The procurement stage has progressed to contract award, established on 2nd March 2026, with Nuffield Health identified as the suitable supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, especially those capable of delivering specialised imaging services.

Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those already supplying healthcare imaging services or looking to expand their portfolio within the health sector, would find this contract particularly appealing. Given the scope's regional focus, businesses positioned in or around Crewe or those with operational flexibility to extend services to this area will be well-suited to compete in this tender environment.
