Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a short-term sub-contract for ultrasound activity to be provided by Cora Health Norwich Clinic. The requirement falls within medical imaging services and supports the Trust’s diagnostic activity in Norwich. The work covers ultrasound provision rather than equipment supply, construction or general healthcare support. The selected provider is Cora Health Diagnostics Ltd, a large UK supplier operating from Newcastle upon Tyne. The service is associated with the Trust’s Norwich operations and is intended to cover activity delivered through the Cora Health Norwich Clinic. This is a healthcare services requirement for organisations able to provide clinical ultrasound examinations and related diagnostic imaging capacity for an NHS hospital.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded under the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process A, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The award is active and was made to Cora Health Diagnostics Ltd; one bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026. It covers five weeks of ultrasound activity between 11 September and 10 November 2026, with a maximum contract value of £26,000 including the stated currency of GBP. Evaluation was based on price. The procurement is described as a PSR award, with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 excluded. The published lot record is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

For a supplier assessing future NHS diagnostic imaging work, this award demonstrates demand for a focused, short-duration ultrasound service supporting Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor would need clinical ultrasound capability, sufficient trained capacity to provide activity at a clinic serving the Trust, and the operational resilience to mobilise for a defined period. Experience delivering medical imaging services in a healthcare setting would help demonstrate that examinations can be provided safely and reliably. The procurement also indicates that this type of requirement may be handled through the Provider Selection Regime and a direct award route, so suppliers should understand that route and be able to evidence suitability, service quality and price competitiveness.
