This procurement falls under the health services industry category and takes place in Coventry, West Midlands. The procurement method is open, and the contract is active as of 1st April 2021, running until 31st March 2025, with an opportunity for a one-year extension. The tender period concluded on 12th October 2020. This contract creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging services, particularly for those with expertise in non-obstetric ultrasound. Companies that can provide the required advanced diagnostic capabilities to improve patient access and care continuity would be ideal competitors. The emphasis on enhanced service delivery aligns with market demands for innovative healthcare solutions, making it a favourable prospect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. ## 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) sought 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 is being 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/ee995931-3b70-4508-ac84-f124f6c7f794 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Apr 2021 | | Submission deadline | 12 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,916,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85150000 - Medical imaging services ## Release History - 13 Apr 2021 at 12:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ee995931-3b70-4508-ac84-f124f6c7f794 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ee995931-3b70-4508-ac84-f124f6c7f794 13th April 2021 - Awarded contract 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.
