## Summary

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is inviting tenders for the provision of the Community Diagnostics - Direct Access Non-Obstetric Ultrasound Service for NHS Medway CCG and NHS Swale CCG. This open procurement process, currently in the tender stage, aims to enhance early diagnostics and reduce unnecessary referrals to secondary care, improving patient access to healthcare services. The tender period will close on February 17, 2020, with a contract period set to start on June 1, 2020, and extend until May 31, 2023. The total contract value is estimated at £3,040,000, with a minimum value of £2,280,000, and will be located in Chatham, England.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those with expertise in non-obstetric ultrasound services. Companies that can demonstrate relevant qualifications and experience in providing high-quality diagnostic services will find this tender appealing. With the emphasis on primary care integration, both large and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete, particularly those that can align their services with NHS standards and regulations.

## Notice

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) on behalf of NHS Medway CCG and NHS Swale CCG (referred to as the Commissioner(s)) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver the service(s). The service will aid early diagnostics and avoid unnecessary referrals to secondary care and support the shift of activity into a primary care setting, where this will improve access. Where there are clear secondary care clinical pathways with ultrasound as a core component, it is more appropriate for this diagnostic to be undertaken as an integral part of the clinical pathway.
