Summary of the contracting process

East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub established a healthcare services framework for teleradiology and specialised reporting. It is intended to help NHS England, integrated care boards, NHS trusts and foundation trusts, and local and combined authorities increase radiology capacity and meet short- and long-term service targets. The three service areas are outsourced and AI-assisted teleradiology reporting, targeted lung health checks, and managed services. Reporting may cover plain radiographs, CT, MRI, nuclear and PET CT imaging, with specialist reporting and support. Managed services may include triage, workflows, end-to-end systems, data and reporting, training, quality assurance, service intelligence and consultancy. Services are intended for authorities across England; authorities in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland cannot use this framework.

The framework procurement is complete and was conducted under the Provider Selection Regime using a competitive process, recorded as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The framework was formally concluded on 23 June 2026, following a standstill that concluded on 6 July 2026, and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with an option to extend by 12 months. Its stated value is £300,000,000. The selected suppliers are Arkadia Clinical Solutions, Berkshire Imaging, Business and Service Solutions, Elysium Imaging, Frontline Health Professionals, Inheath Reporting, Instarad, Managed Healthcare Services, Medical Bravo, Modality, Trust Health and Vital Radiology Services. Evaluation used five key criteria weighted 70% quality and 30% commercial considerations.

This procurement demonstrates substantial NHS demand for outsourced diagnostic reporting, targeted lung screening and managed radiology operations across England. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements will need suitably qualified and skilled radiology personnel, capability across plain radiography, CT, MRI and nuclear or PET CT, and the operational capacity to provide urgent, acute, inpatient, routine, overflow and backlog reporting. Targeted lung health check providers need to work in accordance with the relevant quality standards and protocol. Managed service specialists need credible capability in triage, workflow design, systems, data collation, reporting, service intelligence, training, quality assurance and consultancy. Competitive providers should also be able to evidence safe, effective and sustainable delivery, value for contracting authorities, equitable access, collaboration, social value and alignment with the NHS Net Zero Roadmap.
