Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust procured sonography insourcing services: the provision of sonographers for use across the Trust’s hospital sites in Birmingham. The requirement falls within medical imaging services and concerns clinical diagnostic activity delivered by qualified sonography staff rather than the supply of imaging equipment. The named buyer is University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston. The service is associated with the Trust’s hospital operations and is intended to provide additional or outsourced sonography capacity at its sites. This is a healthcare staffing and diagnostic imaging opportunity for providers able to supply suitably qualified sonographers and manage their deployment within NHS hospital settings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 July 2026 to Your Medical Services Limited (YMS). It used a selective procedure as an award under the SBS10203 framework, through a non-competitive framework call-off. There was one completed lot. The award value is £463,000 excluding VAT and £555,600 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 21 July 2027. A separate active contract was signed on 30 June 2026, with a period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, and the same value of £463,000 excluding VAT and £555,600 including VAT. The contract was awarded above the applicable threshold.

This procurement demonstrates demand from University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust for externally supplied sonography capacity delivered in hospital settings. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need access to suitably qualified and experienced sonographers, the operational capacity to provide a sustained clinical staffing service, and the ability to deploy personnel reliably across multiple Trust hospital sites. Providers would also need to understand NHS clinical environments, integrate with hospital teams and workflows, and maintain appropriate professional, clinical governance and patient-safety arrangements. Experience delivering medical imaging or sonography services at substantial scale would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage continuity, staffing resilience and service quality through a framework-based public-sector route.
