Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust procured radiopharmaceuticals for nuclear imaging. The supplier provides the radiopharmaceutical products to the hospital, which distributes them to its customers for use in nuclear medicine and imaging. The work is centred on the hospital’s services in King’s Lynn. The procurement is classified as medical hospital services. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, licensed wholesalers, specialist radiopharmacy operators and healthcare suppliers able to provide radiopharmaceuticals reliably for clinical imaging. It concerns supply and distribution of specialist medical products rather than construction, general hospital services or imaging equipment. The selected supplier is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.

The procurement was completed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using the most suitable provider process. It was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The contract was formally awarded on 1 August 2026 and signed on 14 July 2026. It runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a stated contract value of £0. University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust was selected for the single lot. The recorded bid value was £75,000, both as the lowest and highest valid bid. The stated evaluation considered quality and price, including whether the existing provider was satisfying the original contract and would likely meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard.

This award indicates demand from an NHS foundation trust for a specialist radiopharmaceutical supply serving nuclear imaging customers. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to the required radiopharmaceuticals, appropriate radiopharmacy and healthcare-sector capability, and the operational capacity to supply the hospital consistently while supporting onward distribution. Evidence that the existing provider can meet the original service standard is central to the stated quality assessment, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable performance, continuity of supply, product quality and experience supporting clinical nuclear medicine services. The route used was a Provider Selection Regime process focused on the most suitable provider rather than an openly competed tender, making established NHS or specialist healthcare supply experience particularly relevant.
