## Summary

NHS England is conducting a procurement process titled "Prevention of Never Events related to misplaced nasogastric tubes." This initiative falls under the health services industry category and is located in Leeds, England. The current stage of this procurement is the award phase, which was completed on 18 February 2022, with the contract in effect from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2022. The procurement method employed was a direct approach, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, with a contract value of £50,000.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in healthcare training, quality assurance, or health services to enhance their growth. Companies that can provide innovative training programmes and standard operating procedures, particularly those with expertise in radiography and patient care, would be well-suited to participate in future tenders related to enhancing clinical practices and ensuring patient safety within the NHS framework.

## Notice

This authority required a supplier to produce a service transformation plan for adoption across the NHS by creating a standard operating procedure, quality assurance recommendations with an education and training programme to support Radiographers to deliver person centred care including the image acquisition, interpretation and initiation of actions whenever a misplaced NGT is present on an NGTXRay. This will prevent patient harm related to NGT misplacement by focusing skills and training in the professional group who perform the patient's clinical imaging examination, therefore minimising opportunities for error.
