Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust (RNOH) commissioned specialist radiology reporting for soft-tissue and bone sarcoma, including complex spine imaging. The work centres on the timely, accurate interpretation of scans to support the hospital’s specialist sarcoma service. RNOH is one of five hospitals in England designated as a Joint Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma multidisciplinary team provider, and has delegated responsibility from NHS England to provide these specialist services in line with the national service specification. The service is an NHS tertiary-level requirement, based at RNOH in Stanmore, with the hospital serving patients through its specialist service. This is medical imaging and diagnostic reporting work, rather than the supply of imaging equipment or general radiology services.

The process reached an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime, and the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. Stanmore Orthopaedic Imaging Solutions LLP was selected for the single lot, with a stated contract value of £300,000. The award was made through Direct Award Process C, without a prior competition, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The assessment considered the basic selection criteria and five PSR key criteria; the stated award basis was that the incumbent provider was meeting the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The published intention allowed providers to make representations to decision makers by 13 October 2026. One bid was recorded. No contract duration is stated in the procurement data.

This requirement demonstrates demand for a narrowly specialised radiology reporting capability in sarcoma and complex spine care, within a tertiary NHS setting. A credible supplier would need appropriately trained and experienced radiologists who can report soft-tissue and bone sarcoma scans accurately and promptly, and work in a way that supports the hospital’s national service-specification obligations. Relevant experience, dependable reporting capacity and the ability to integrate with a specialist multidisciplinary service are central to competing effectively. The buyer selected its incumbent on the basis that it was satisfying the existing contract and was expected to deliver the proposed service to a sufficient standard, so evidence of reliable performance and continuity would be important for suppliers seeking similar work from RNOH. This is a specialist clinical service, not a general imaging opportunity.
