This procurement is for health services and involves the provision of Static Community and Mobile MRI Managed Services with an estimated value of £9,700,000. It falls under the services category and is classified under CPV code 85100000. The procurement will be conducted as a Competitive Process with potential suppliers engaged through various communication means, concluding by 14th August 2026. The services are expected to operate across several designated sites in Essex, including Broomfield Hospital and Basildon Hospital.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services and diagnostic equipment sectors. Suppliers capable of providing MRI-related services and equipment would be well-positioned to compete for either or both Lots. The procurement aims to enhance the MRI capacity and support the integration of these services with existing diagnostic pathways, potentially leading to long-term partnerships. Companies with a strong track record in managing mobile and community health services, particularly those ensuring continuity and timely diagnosis, are encouraged to participate. With two distinct lots, businesses have the chance to secure up to both lots, allowing flexibility and growth within Essex’s dynamic healthcare sector.
