This tender falls under the health services category and is aimed at improving diagnostic access within the West Midlands region. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 12 October 2020. The contract will have a duration of three years, starting from 1 April 2021, with a potential one-year extension at the sole discretion of the Commissioner. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in medical imaging services. Companies capable of delivering community-based healthcare solutions and those focused on innovative diagnostic technologies will find this opportunity particularly relevant. It aligns with the NHS's emphasis on out-of-hospital care and rapid patient diagnostics, making it an ideal platform for businesses aiming to expand their services in the healthcare sector. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, on behalf of NHS Coventry & Rugby Clinical Commissioning Group (the Commissioner) in association with NHS Warwickshire North CCG and NHS South Warwickshire CCG (the associate commissioners) are seeking to appoint a single suitably qualified and experienced provider for the provision of a Non-Obstetric Ultrasound Service. The Service aims to offer direct access to ultrasound scans to GPs and other clinicians to aid in early diagnosis and avoidance of unnecessary referrals to Secondary Care Clinicians for conditions that can be appropriately managed within a Community setting, where it will improve access. There are sustained and significant increases in radiology activity, driven by new and emerging technologies, an ageing patient population with changing health needs, and the drive towards 7-day working. The widely reported shortages in the diagnostic workforce are impacting upon the required diagnostic capacity being available and significant delays in scan to reporting timescales. The NHS Long Term Plan requires the CCG to commission services that ensure patients get more options, better support, and properly joined-up care at the right time in the optimal care setting. There is a focus on 'out of hospital' care, faster diagnosis, person-centred and digitally enabled care. Furthermore, the CCG continues to seek improved access to diagnostic tests as part of the drive to reduce waiting times and improve choices for patients, and their carers/families. This contract will be let for the period of 3 years with an option to extend for a further 12 months at the sole discretion of the Commissioner. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a576025-47e2-46f6-81b2-1bbcc4d93fc5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 12 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV1 2NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | St Michael's | | Westminster constituency | Coventry South | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85150000 - Medical imaging services ## Release History - 13 Sep 2020 at 14:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a576025-47e2-46f6-81b2-1bbcc4d93fc5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a576025-47e2-46f6-81b2-1bbcc4d93fc5 13th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=33777&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/68205 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.coventryrugbyccg.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
