Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, on behalf of the West Midlands Imaging Network, is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of Teleradiology services, with a focus on engagement through a market testing questionnaire. This process is designed to gather insights and feedback from the market to inform future procurement strategies. The engagement exercise runs from 3rd August 2026 to 24th August 2026, with responses due by 2 pm on the final day. It targets the medical imaging services industry across various regions in the UK, including areas such as UKG2 and UKG23. This is being managed under the Provider Selection Regime of the Healthcare Services Regulations 2023, with expected contract commencement in February 2027.

This tender process invites qualified providers of Teleradiology services to contribute valuable feedback that could shape the procurement landscape, paving the way for potential market opportunities. Businesses that specialise in medical imaging and are seeking to expand their footprint within the healthcare sector, particularly in the UK regions stated, will find this exercise a promising avenue to influence upcoming procurement activities. Engaging in this preliminary stage offers companies the strategic edge to align with the service requirements and potentially partake in deeper market engagement events in the future.
