UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured insourced clinical neurophysiology services. The requirement covers diagnostic testing of the electrical function of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. Services include outpatient electroencephalograms (EEGs), outpatient electromyography (EMG), complex carpal tunnel testing and nerve conduction studies, plus inpatient EEG and EMG. The buying organisation is the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, based in Chester. The awarded service is 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. This is a specialist healthcare services requirement rather than a supply-only opportunity, and would suit organisations able to provide clinical neurophysiology testing in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. One supplier, Mediservices Healthcare Ltd, was selected on 17 September 2026 for the single lot. The award is worth £94,703 excluding VAT and £113,643.60 including VAT. The contract runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted below the relevant threshold using a procedure described as “below threshold - unknown”, with a framework agreement involved. The award concerns medical hospital services and medical solutions. The published information does not set out an evaluation weighting or separate quality and price scores. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 17 September 2026. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS foundation trust for externally provided clinical neurophysiology capacity across a broad English service area. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver the full range of tests: outpatient EEG and EMG, complex carpal tunnel testing, nerve conduction studies, and inpatient EEG and EMG. It would need the clinical capability, suitably qualified personnel, equipment and operational arrangements to support both outpatient diagnosis and inpatient work. Providers should also be able to coordinate a consistent service across multiple regions and work within NHS hospital environments. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist independent provider, rather than only by a large national healthcare organisation. Experience delivering safe, reliable neurophysiology services would be commercially relevant.
