## Summary

The public procurement process led by NHS Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit has concluded with the award for a Digital Project Consultancy, focusing on reforms to imaging and pathology services in England. The procurement targeted project management consultancy services under CPV classification 72224000, aiming to enhance quality, optimise workforce productivity, and reduce service variations. The award was announced on 5 August 2025, with the project's contract period starting on 12 August 2025 and ending on 31 March 2026. This process employed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for those specialising in project management consultancy, particularly in healthcare service optimisation and technical architecture. Firms with experience in national-scale solution deployment, diagnostics, and integration systems are well-suited for such initiatives. With a contract value of £75,600, SMEs have an excellent chance to showcase their capabilities, as indicated in the procurement's suitability criteria, although VCSE were not considered suitable. Twin Technology, an SME, successfully secured the contract, highlighting opportunities for similar businesses to engage in such transformative public-sector projects.

## Notice

The programme aims to deliver fundamental reforms to imaging and pathology services driving up quality, enabling workforce optimisation, increased productivity and a reduction in regional and local variations that can affect the health outcomes for individuals. The service will provide technical architecture expertise to progress pilot testing with a small number of identified Trusts. This will include the development and analysis of prototype models, testing the assumptions and focusing on the challenging areas in order to provide a deeper understanding of the ease of integration, costs required, any immovable constraints/boundaries and risk. Those deployed to the service must have rich experience in the deployment of solutions at a national scale and also deep technical expertise in diagnostics and integration such as gateways.
