Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought outsourced radiology reporting, or teleradiology, to address a short-term shortage in capacity for elective reporting. The requirement was for an existing service delivered by a new provider, rather than new imaging equipment or a broader clinical service. The work was for the Trust’s services in the Basingstoke area. The procurement description says the Trust intended this short-term arrangement to be followed by a longer-term resilience arrangement to help manage future capacity pressures. The service falls within medical imaging services (CPV 85150000).

The contract was awarded to Vital Radiology Services Ltd. The Trust signed the contract on 8 October 2026; the award is recorded as active. The contract value is £80,000. The contract was to run for three months from 12 October 2026, with no extension option. The Trust made the award without competition through an NHS Supply Chain framework for managed equipment, clinical service solutions and associated goods. It was made under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The notice describes one lot, although its status is recorded as cancelled; the award itself is active. The recorded evaluation basis was cost alone, described as the cost criterion in the framework agreement. One bid was recorded.

For suppliers competing for similar radiology reporting work with Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the award shows demand for outsourced reporting capacity to support elective services, including through a new provider taking over an existing service. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to provide dependable teleradiology reporting and respond to short-term capacity pressures, as well as offer competitive pricing under the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework. The Trust’s stated intention to pursue a longer-term resilience arrangement indicates that sustained capacity support is also relevant to its requirements. Suppliers should be prepared to meet the framework’s terms and evidence the service capacity and clinical delivery capability needed for the Trust’s radiology reporting workload.
