UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has procured a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) for its new CT post-mortem imaging service at the newly built County Mortuary. The requirement covers supplying, implementing, supporting and maintaining the system. It must integrate with a Siemens SOMATOM go.Up CT scanner and provide storage, management, viewing and retrieval of medical images for post-mortem work. The service is a new implementation, supporting the Council’s operational needs and obligations for information governance, cybersecurity, data retention and interoperability. The work is based at the Council’s County Mortuary in West Northamptonshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CIMAR (UK) Limited on 2 October 2026. The awarded value is £80,820 excluding VAT (£96,984 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030, covering 48 months of provision, implementation, support and maintenance. The contract was a below-threshold procurement; the recorded method is described as below threshold, with the procedure otherwise unclassified. The procurement covered one lot. The award is active, and the contract is due to be signed by 26 October 2026. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information.

This award shows demand from West Northamptonshire Council for a specialist medical imaging archive supporting CT post-mortem services, rather than a general-purpose hospital PACS deployment. A credible competitor would need to supply and implement a PACS that can integrate with the Siemens SOMATOM go.Up scanner and provide dependable image storage, management, viewing and retrieval. The Council’s stated requirements also make information governance, cybersecurity, data retention and interoperability central capabilities. Suppliers should be equipped to support and maintain the system over a multi-year service period and to deliver a new implementation without relying on migration from an incumbent PACS. The selected supplier is an SME, demonstrating that the requirement was delivered by a specialist supplier at a relatively modest scale.
