Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust procured outsourced radiology services from Health Now Limited. The requirement covers insourcing radiology activity for NOUS, MRI and CT services, classified as medical hospital services. The work supports the Trust’s need for additional or externally delivered radiology capacity across these imaging modalities. Health Now Limited is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Chertsey, Surrey, and was selected as the supplier. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust responsible for hospital healthcare services. The procurement relates specifically to radiology provision for this Trust, rather than to the supply of imaging equipment alone or general medical staffing. Suppliers with operational capability in hospital radiology insourcing, including NOUS, MRI and CT delivery, are the closest match to the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Health Now Limited was selected through a limited procedure using a framework agreement, without prior publication of a call for competition and without competition for this award. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 October 2026, with a stated value of £166,008. One bid was recorded, valued at £166,008. Evaluation considered the ability to provide the required service, service fees and timescales, and cost effectiveness; the lot records price as the award criterion. The award was made under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for short-term radiology insourcing covering NOUS, MRI and CT. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can provide these hospital imaging services in practice, with suitable clinical and operational capacity to support the Trust’s radiology activity. Evidence should address service delivery arrangements, the ability to mobilise within required timescales, and transparent service fees. Cost effectiveness was part of the decision, so suppliers would need a commercially efficient delivery model as well as demonstrable capability. The use of a framework and the Provider Selection Regime also indicate that familiarity with healthcare procurement routes and compliance with the applicable provider-selection requirements would be relevant.
