## Summary

The procurement process for a staffed MRI service at St Richards in Chichester, West Sussex has reached the award stage. The buyer for this contract is the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, located in Brighton, United Kingdom. This contract involves medical imaging services classified under the CPV code 85150000. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

Companies like Compleo Health Limited, which has secured the award, can benefit from a substantial contract value and the potential for a one-year extension. The procurement process was selective, indicating that firms with established framework agreements or those capable of forming such collaborations are well-placed to compete.
