## Summary

The NHS Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has awarded a contract titled "Direct Access Community Radiology" for the provision of Community Direct Access Radiology services to InHealth Ltd. This contract, valued at £236,710, will support vital services including Magnetic Resonance, Ultrasound, and Endoscopy, among others. The award is classified under the Health and social work services industry category and is part of a direct procurement method described as a single tender action. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2019 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2019. The tender notice was published on 8th April 2019, with the procurement stage being complete.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities, especially for businesses in the health services sector looking to expand their service offerings. Companies specialising in radiology services or those equipped to enhance diagnostic capabilities in community settings would be particularly well-suited to participate in future tenders arising from this project. With an emphasis on improving service delivery and reducing unnecessary referrals to secondary care, there is potential for innovative solutions and enhanced service lines to attract the attention of clients, thereby driving business growth.

## Notice

This contract award notice provides notification that NHS Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG) has agreed to directly award an interim transitional contract for the provision of Community Direct Access Radiology services to InHealth Ltd, for a period of 6 months (until 30th September 2019). Agreed modalities included are: Magnetic Resonance, Ultrasound, Radiology Reporting, Endoscopy, Echocardiography, Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). This interim contract is deemed essential to ensure a continuity of an essential service provision to the CCG's patients. The CCG considered transferring activity to its NWL acute providers but these providers have confirmed they have insufficient capacity to accommodate increased activity. Issues with estates, equipment, and staffing would prevent providers from meeting KPIs and national diagnostic standards. During this interim period, the 6 CCGs will procure an enhanced Direct Access community radiology service with amendments to the current contract terms and conditions, including tariffs, service specification, quality requirements, and volume per modality. The enhanced service will enable earlier diagnostics/diagnoses of conditions and reduce the number of inappropriate referrals to secondary care. The service will also support the management of care outside of a hospital setting.
