Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for providing paediatric neuroradiology second opinions has been completed with the contract awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The buying organisation, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, engaged North Bristol NHS Trust to deliver ad hoc medical imaging services. This contract, valued at £5,750, is classified under the medical imaging services category and will serve the UKK13 region. Commencing on 1st August 2025 and concluding on 31st July 2030, the contract was signed on 1st July 2026. The procurement method was limited due to the specialised nature of the services and absence of other local providers, facilitated through a direct award procedure without prior publication.

This tender presents opportunities particularly for NHS Trusts or healthcare service providers with expertise in paediatric neuroradiology. Businesses specialising in medical imaging services in the UK healthcare sector can leverage such contracts for steady, ongoing work over the contract term. The direct award nature of this contract highlights the importance for similar service providers to maintain strong relationships with local NHS Trusts, ensuring their offerings align with specialised healthcare needs that may fall outside conventional procurement scopes.
