Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which has completed the award stage for the contract titled "Provision of weekend CT services." Classified under the health services industry category, the contract concerns the provision of diagnostic imaging services at the PET-CT Centre located within Northern General Hospital in Sheffield. This contract is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and falls outside the scope of the Procurement Act Regulations 2023. The direct award procedure has followed the PSR Direct Award A framework, with Alliance Medical Limited being identified as the supplier. The service is set to commence on 1 April 2026 and continue until 31 March 2027, with a contract value of £205,920.00.

This contract offers a significant opportunity for businesses involved in medical imaging services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised CT scans over weekends to NHS patients. Alliance Medical Limited, a large-scale supplier with a base in Warwick, has secured the contract, highlighting the potential for established companies to thrive in this niche market. The specificity of the requirements, such as providing services at a particular hospital site, suggests that competitors with strong regional presence or those capable of meeting stringent service quality criteria will be well-suited to vie for similar contracts under PSR Direct Awards. This procurement underscores the critical need for expertise in health services delivery, aligning with NHS standards, and the ability to fulfil high-quality demands under regulated frameworks.
