This contract falls under the health services category and is located in the East of England, UK. The open tender procedure is currently active, with submissions due by 22nd February 2019. The contract is valued at approximately £4,896,735, with services commencing on 1st April 2019 and lasting until 31st March 2022. This procurement encompasses the delivery of non-obstetric ultrasound services, which will include diagnostic investigations and comprehensive reports for referrers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in healthcare services and diagnostics. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-positioned to participate, as the contract allows for providers to be chosen based on patient choice and referrals from various health channels. Companies that can demonstrate qualified personnel and suitable equipment for delivering ultrasound services will be strong contenders in this open bidding process. ## Notice The Community Ultrasound (non-obstetric) Service is expected to compliment the Royal College of Radiologists 'Making the best use of clinical Radiology Services (2017 eighth edition)' Referral guidelines for GPs. The care pathway being commissioned includes pre-appointment communication with Service Users, diagnostic investigation and report to referrer, which covers not only the description of the investigation and findings but also any clinical recommendations for further investigation and advice on management. This service is open to Mid Essex to join at any point upon commencement of this contract and the aggregate contract reflected in this Contract Notice is inclusive of potential indicative Mid Essex activity. The AQP model is an accreditation process underpinned by 'call-off' of a Provider's services determined according to patients' choice. Referrals into these services may come from secondary care, accident and emergency, walk in centres or GP practices. Services must be provided by trained practitioners with appropriate equipment. Future AQP procurements for these Services will be conducted on a regular basis and these will be advertised in an identical manner to this Procurement.
