Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, based in Liverpool, procured a Cercare Medical MR Neuro Advanced Perfusion Package with a service module. This is a medical imaging software and information-systems requirement supporting advanced neuroimaging and associated service provision. The goods are intended for delivery across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust, so relevant businesses are suppliers of specialist clinical imaging software, neuroimaging analysis tools, medical technology systems or related implementation and support services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was awarded to CERCARE MEDICAL UK on 31 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. It covers one lot and has an awarded contract value of £20,000 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The active award is for the full MR Neuro Advanced Perfusion Package and service module. This outcome indicates that the Trust selected a single specialist supplier through a direct route rather than an open competitive tender.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the requirement demonstrates demand from an NHS specialist neuroscience provider for advanced MR perfusion software combined with a service element. A credible competitor for comparable work would need a product focused on neuroimaging, the technical ability to support MR perfusion analysis, and the capacity to provide reliable service alongside the software. Experience working with NHS or hospital imaging environments would help demonstrate practical understanding of clinical users, deployment and support. Suppliers should also be able to explain how their solution integrates into the buyer’s diagnostic workflow and supports consistent use across an NHS service.
