## Summary

The NHS Harrow Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is seeking to provide Community Direct Access Radiology services through a direct award to InHealth Ltd. The contract, valued at £146,216, is classified under health and social work services, with a focus on diagnostic imaging. The interim contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2019 and will run until 30th September 2019. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, and the deadline for any related submissions was on 11th March 2019. The services will be delivered in Harrow, London.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in health services and diagnostic imaging, particularly those with experience in community healthcare provision. The direct award structure suggests limited competition for this specific contract, allowing InHealth Ltd to maintain continuity of service. However, as the CCG is working with neighbouring authorities to develop a longer-term procurement strategy, businesses keen to engage in upcoming contracts should observe this process closely, as new specifications will emerge that may open avenues for health service providers to participate in a broader scope of contracts from October 2019 onwards.

## Notice

This contract award notice provides notification that NHS Harrow 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). Community Direct Access Radiology is a service providing diagnostic imaging to NHS Harrow CCG patients out of hospital. The service allows General Practice to refer straight to diagnostics for specified modalities and works closely with primary and secondary providers to integrate services and provide improved outcomes for patients. The current contract is due to come to an end on 31st March 2019. Agreed modality is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This interim contract is deemed essential to ensure a continuity of an essential service provision to the CCG's patients. Additional information: This interim contract is being awarded to InHealth Ltd, for a period of 6 months (until 30th September 2019) to ensure continuity of essential health services to the local population whilst the CCG works collaboratively with neighbouring CCGs to procure a substantive new service with amended scope and value. The CCG has assessed that InHealth is the best provider to provide community direct access radiology for its patients as they are the incumbent and their selection will ensure no disruption to service. This contract will provide an interim transitional and stabilising arrangement with the provider until a new provider is selected. The CCGs have commenced engagement with the market to assist development of its future specification of requirements, with the intention of informing the process to award substantive contracts to deliver the new models of care from October 2019 at the latest.
