Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board required additional MRI scanning capacity for patients at HMP Berwyn, to support timely, high-quality care and local and national waiting-time targets. The service comprises a staffed mobile MRI scanner located at the prison on four occasions, with the provider managing its staff, including scheduling, competence, mandatory training, sickness and disciplinary matters. This is a medical imaging service (CPV 85150000), delivered at HMP Berwyn in Wrexham, Wales. The requirement is specifically for MRI provision to this patient group, rather than general hospital imaging.

The process reached an intention-to-award stage under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025; the release also records an active award and signed contract. INHEALTH LIMITED was selected and the contract was signed on 25 September 2026, for £19,436. The service period runs from October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The health board used a direct award through an NHS Supply Chain managed equipment and clinical services arrangement, without prior publication of a competition. One lot covered the full requirement. Providers could make representations to decision makers by 11:59pm on 6 October 2026. The selection considered activity, financial standing and technical ability, with scored criteria covering quality (40%), value (25%), collaboration and service sustainability (10%), access and health inequalities (10%), and social responsibility (15%).

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement, the award shows demand for a managed, staffed mobile MRI service deployed at a prison, rather than scanner equipment alone. A credible provider would need to supply and operate mobile MRI capacity on a planned, intermittent schedule, and manage the clinical workforce needed to deliver the service. The assessment indicates that activity, financial standing and technical ability matter alongside quality, value, collaboration, service sustainability, improving access and reducing health inequalities, and social responsibility. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable staffing arrangements, including rostering, maintained competence, mandatory training and routine staff management. The service supports a specific patient cohort and waiting-time targets, so relevant experience delivering imaging in a secure setting and sustaining access for underserved patients would be commercially pertinent.
