## Summary

The Pennine Acute Hospital NHS Trust is seeking to award a contract for Diagnostic Ultrasound Services aimed at supporting its Radiology Department. This open procurement process will facilitate the provision of 100 to 250 hours of scanning per month, amounting to approximately 6500 ultrasound examinations annually. The contract period is set to commence on 1st July 2017 and will last for one year, with the possibility of extending for two additional 12-month periods. The estimated value of the contract is £500,000, and it falls under the category of medical imaging services, with the delivery location specified as the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those specialising in medical imaging and diagnostic services. Companies equipped with the capability to provide ultrasound examinations and those that can operate within the NHS framework would be well-positioned to compete. Given the flexibility in hours and the Trust's commitment to maintaining high-quality healthcare, this contract may allow for substantial contributions to service provision during peak times, thereby fostering business growth in a competitive landscape.

## Notice

The Radiology Department provides a 24 hour imaging service for the Trust. The contract will support the Trust's priority to maintain its imaging and reporting turnaround times to internal and external service users. The provision of excellent healthcare to our patients is of paramount importance. The Trust is committed to maintaining and improving services in the future. The Trust has identified that it requires external support of between 100 to 250 hours of scanning per month, 2200 hours per annum. This equates to approximately 6500 ultrasound examinations per annum. There is not a guaranteed minimum activity level. The Trust is also piloting the SaBINE (Saving Babies in North of England) initiative which is a comprehensive ultrasound surveillance protocol for fetal growth in pregnancies at increased risk. This project may or may not form part of our on-going requirements for diagnostic ultrasound. Therefore, on this basis examination requirements have not been included in the above figures. The Trust intends to award a contract for a period of one year with an option to extend for a further two 12 month periods. The contract has not been split into Lots on commercial, operational and Contract Management grounds.
