Summary of the contracting process

The Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has announced its intention to award a contract for the insourcing of ultrasound scans and injections related to the Musculoskeletal service under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. This contract, pertaining to medical imaging services, falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract is intended to be awarded between 20th March 2026 and 19th June 2026 and will be performed in Bradford, within the region UKE41. The procurement method adopted is a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting a direct award process to an existing provider, GLOBE LOCUMS LIMITED. Representatives need to make any objections by 19th March 2026 to Chris Boylan at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses within the medical imaging sector, particularly those specialising in services such as MSK Ultrasound. The direct award process prioritises speed and efficiency and may suit small and medium enterprises that have established relationships with the buyer or a track record of high-quality service within the NHS framework. With a limited procurement method focused on maintaining service standards through a current provider, businesses with expertise in diagnostic scans and injections will be well-suited to this opportunity. Providers who aim to expand or strengthen their position in the healthcare sector in the UK, specifically within services subject to the PSR, should consider engaging with Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for potential future collaborations.
