## Summary

The Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DBTH) has completed the tender process and awarded a contract for the provision of non-obstetric ultrasound (NOUS) services at the newly developed Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in Mexborough Montagu Hospital. The contract, titled "DBTH Ultrasound Insourcing 2024-25," is categorized under health services within the public sector and spans from 24 February 2025 to 23 February 2026. The awarded supplier, Globe Locums Limited, will commence service delivery from early 2025, with key project milestones including an end date for tender submission on 3 January 2025 and the commencement of service from 24 February 2025.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in medical diagnostic services. Firms with expertise in ultrasound imaging and the ability to deliver high-quality scans and immediate reporting would be particularly well-suited to engage. Globe Locums Limited's selection suggests a strong positioning for SMEs in the healthcare sector to secure similar strategic contracts. The initiative underscores a significant demand for skilled diagnostic service providers, responding to national recommendations to enhance NHS diagnostic capacity, thereby benefiting businesses with alignment to NHS standards and objectives.

## Notice

A. Service Specifications Service Specification No. 2 Service Community Diagnostic Centre Non-Obstetric Ultrasound Commissioner Lead Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DBTH) Provider Lead Period 1st January 2025- 31st December 2025 Date of Review Annually 1. Population Needs National/local context and evidence base The creation of Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC's) was recommended following Professor Sir Mike Richards' Review of NHS diagnostics capacity. The recommendation was that NHS organisations across England move to providing diagnostic services in CDC's and all health systems are expected to include a network of CDC's as part of their health services offer. In 2021, Mexborough Montagu Hospital (MMH) was selected to host one of a pair of CDC's within South Yorkshire, following a PS3 million investment from the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Integrated Care System. In November 2023 phase 2 of the CDC opened in MMH providing a fully functional endoscopy suite, with training facilities and multifunctional clinic rooms including ultrasound facilities. Once completed, in late 2024/early 2025, the CDC will also provide Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging facilities. This service specification relates to the provision of the Non-Obstetric Ultrasound (NOUS) element of the CDC imaging service only. 2. Key Service Outcomes 2.1 Locally defined outcomes Outcome Measurable Output Provide a high quality NOUS service for patients attending the CDC. Deliver 75 hours of NOUS scanning time over 5 days per week. Expected throughput: 52 scans/day All scans reported on the same day Staff rotas delivered at least 14 days prior to session dates Participate in performance monitoring and audit as required Attendance at performance / audit meetings 2.1 Contract monitoring DBTH will work with the contractor to jointly monitor compliance with the above locally defined outcomes. This will include agreement regarding situations where it is deemed that an acceptable exception has occurred. Where this is the case, locally defined outcomes reporting will be retrospectively updated to remove acceptable exceptions from both numerators and denominators, however each case will still be reflected through the report's narrative. Acceptable exceptions will include patient refusals, DNAs and patient choice. 3. Scope 3.1 Aims and objectives of service The aim of this Service is to provide high quality NOUS examinations and reports for patients attending the CDC located with Mexborough Montague Hospital. Patients will be scanned and images reported by the sub-contractor using CDC equipment and facilities, in accordance with Society and College of Radiographers (SOR) and British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS) guidelines for professional ultrasound practice.
