Summary of the contracting process

Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has announced an intention to award a contract for the "Provision of Radiology Reporting Services" to 4 Ways Healthcare Limited, as part of a Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This procurement falls under the health services category, with the main location for service delivery noted as the UK's UKD74 region. The standstill period commenced following the publication of this notice, and representations must be submitted by 17th July 2026. The procurement method employed was limited, characterised by a direct award process without prior publication, as outlined by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The estimated lifetime value of the contract is £2,168,618.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with capabilities in radiology reporting, particularly those focused on health sector services. Given the emphasis on quality and innovation (40%) along with value (20%) within the award criteria, companies with strong performance in these areas may find sustainable growth potential. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within health services, particularly those experienced in improving access and service integration, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The alignment with health sector priorities such as reducing inequalities and facilitating choice further amplifies the opportunity for specialised providers in this domain.
