Summary of the contracting process

North Bristol NHS Trust, in collaboration with University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for Teleradiology and Specialised Reporting Services. The procurement falls under the industry category of medical practice and related services. It aims to utilise the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub Framework for Teleradiology Reporting Services, including outsourcing and AI-assisted reporting. Businesses interested in participating must express their interest by 22 May 2026, per the engagement milestone. The project covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, with services commencing on 1 November 2026 and a contract span of three years, potentially extending to four years.

This tender represents a substantial business growth opportunity for firms skilled in remote radiology reporting and integration with Trust RIS/PACS systems. The competition favours suppliers already awarded under Lot 1 of the framework, making it ideal for established businesses in medical imaging services or those seeking to penetrate this sector. As the procurement involves providing comprehensive staffing, governance, and quality assurance, companies with robust internal controls and healthcare expertise should consider competing. SMEs are explicitly encouraged to participate, suggesting an inclusive procurement approach from the North Bristol NHS Trust and its associated buying organisations. Interested suppliers are advised to register on the SAP Ariba e-procurement portal to engage in this and future opportunities.
