Summary of the contracting process

The East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of Non-Obstetric Ultrasound (NOUS) services under the title "Eastbourne Healthcare Partnership Non-Obstetric Ultrasound." This contract is classified under the Health services category, specifically Medical imaging services, and was conducted using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The process culminated in May 2026, with a contract awarded to Eastbourne Healthcare Partnership Limited, valued at £180,000. The contract involved delivery at the Eastbourne area, UKJ22, with the award process benefiting from the rationale that patient choice is not limited, and hence direct award was appropriate.

This tender represents a business growth opportunity, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) already engaged in providing health services, particularly within the medical imaging domain. As the procurement was a direct award to an Any Qualified Provider (AQP), businesses that can position themselves as AQPs and offer competitive pricing strategies may also tap into similar opportunities in the sector. The role of Eastbourne Healthcare Partnership Limited, an SME, underscores the potential for smaller firms to secure substantial contracts within the NHS framework by fulfilling niche service requirements and leveraging procurement strategies that favour limited competition scenarios.
