Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire procured additional ultrasound appointment capacity from the independent sector to meet service demand during the remainder of the 2026–27 financial year. The work is a clinical support service: an external provider supplies insourced ultrasound appointments for the health board. The procurement is categorised as hospital and related services (CPV 85110000). NHS Lanarkshire is the buying organisation. The contracting information does not identify a delivery site, so the requirement should be understood as supporting the board’s ultrasound services rather than being tied to a named hospital or town.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Intersource Medical Services was selected as supplier. The stated requirement was to provide ultrasound appointment capacity through 31 March 2027; the award description says the board may extend the contract for one further 12-month period for additional appointments. No award date or contract value is recorded. The process was a competition within a dynamic purchasing system. Eleven bids were received; the reported valid bid values ranged from £92,374 to £184,112. The available procurement details do not set out lots, supplier eligibility requirements or the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be established from the published information.

This award shows demand from NHS Lanarkshire for externally supplied ultrasound appointment capacity, with the independent sector used to add clinical capacity to existing services. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide a dependable service capable of delivering ultrasound appointments at the required scale, and to operate effectively in a healthcare setting. The award does not describe specific equipment, staffing levels, qualifications, accreditations, service locations or performance standards, so these cannot be treated as confirmed requirements. Eleven bids indicate that a number of suppliers competed for this work, while the spread of reported valid bid prices shows price competition was relevant. Providers with established ultrasound delivery capability and the capacity to support health-board demand would be best placed to assess a comparable requirement.
