The procurement process, which was an open procedure with a total estimated value of GBP 49,850,000, aimed to develop a digital infrastructure enabling radiology image sharing across Trusts in the West of England. The awarded contract, signed on 20 January 2025, spans a four-year tender period starting from 5 January 2025 to 4 January 2029. This framework covers four lots: PACS, RIS, a sharing solution, and associated storage, allowing all Trusts in the network to efficiently procure necessary digital solutions as their current contracts expire. The procurement was hosted by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and managed through Bristol & Weston’s e-procurement system SAP Ariba. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on digital health technologies, particularly those capable of providing robust and scalable imaging solutions. SMEs with expertise in software packages and information systems are well-suited to compete due to the procurement’s emphasis on secure, resilient, and efficient sharing of radiology images. Businesses capable of servicing long-term contracts and delivering adaptable solutions that meet the evolving needs of healthcare providers, such as PACS and RIS integrated systems, will find this framework particularly attractive. The framework will help these companies establish a strong presence in the healthcare sector and enable significant business growth as they support Trusts in achieving improved patient outcomes through advanced imaging technologies. ## Notice Trusts across the West of England are committed to the implementation of a digital technology infrastructure enabling radiology image sharing. The West of England Target Operating Model for imaging across the Network is to transform and develop imaging services to support growth in activity and complexity of clinical care pathways resulting in improved patient outcomes. Pivotal to the delivery of this vision is securing the digital infrastructure to share images and associated information between providers and consumers of imaging services. This sharing of images must be safe, timely, resilient and efficient. This is a procurement for a single supplier framework which will be awarded to one supplier only to allow all trusts in the West of England Imaging Network to call off from for the following 4 lots. 1 PACS 2 RIS 3 A sharing solution 4 Associated Storage Any bidder will need to bid for all 4 lots to be considered. The framework will be open for the maximum period of 4 years for Trusts to call off from with contract lengths for an anticipated 10 years as a maximum in a 5+3+2 contract, but may be for varying lengths in line with ambitions to have a co terminus end date for ease of network procurement at the end of the contracts. The West of England Imaging Network consists of : Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust North Bristol NHS Trust Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust Somerset NHS Foundation Trust University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust The aim of the framework is to allow Network Trusts to procure a single instance of PACS and RIS as and when it becomes viable in line with their current incumbent contracts. In addition, for the Trusts who are unable to join for a longer period of time due to their current contracts, this framework shall allow those Trusts to procure the sharing solution until such a time as they are able to join the single instance of PACS and RIS. As the Network host, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust will be the host of the framework, and the procurement will be run through Bristol and Weston Purchasing Consortium and as such will use their e-procurement system SAP Ariba, bidders will need register to ensure access to the tender.
