## Summary

The recent contract award by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, focuses on the procurement of a fully staffed mobile MRI trailer for the University Hospital Llandough. Falling under the goods category, this procurement aims to enhance the hospital's magnetic resonance imaging capabilities. Alliance Medical Limited has been awarded the contract valued at £449,100, signed on 27th October 2025. This strategic procurement, executed via a restricted procedure, addresses the acute challenges faced due to previous service disruptions and a significant patient backlog. The involvement of NHS Supply Chain, using the NHS Supply Chain framework, underlines the collaborative effort in meeting healthcare service demands. Located in the region of UKL22, the mobile MRI unit is expected to substantially reduce patient waiting times and ensure compliance with Welsh Government directives.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for companies specialising in medical imaging equipment and related services. Suppliers involved in providing mobile medical solutions, and services such as installation and maintenance, stand to gain by capitalising on the urgent need for healthcare infrastructure enhancements. Given the demand for quick turnaround times, businesses that can offer innovative, efficient solutions will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms positioned to provide these services at competitive prices will have a stronger chance of securing contracts due to stringent performance and cost criteria. As healthcare providers continue to seek sustainable solutions, this presents a prolonged engagement for equipment suppliers and service providers at a national level.

## Notice

Introducing a mobile MRI unit will provide clear clinical and operational benefits. It will reduce patient waiting times, enable more timely imaging in relation to outpatient appointments, and relieve pressure on the existing MRI service. This additional capacity will also help stabilise service delivery and allow the Health Board to begin the next financial year with no patients breaching diagnostic targets, creating a sustainable position for managing demand moving forward. Procuring a mobile MRI scanner is therefore both a clinically justified and operationally necessary step to ensure continuity of service, improved patient access, and compliance with Welsh Government directives.

### Lot Information

Short to Medium Term Clinical Service Solutions

The MRI service at CAVOC has experienced significant disruption during the current financial year due to an environmental leak that damaged the PEN cabinet, resulting in approximately ten weeks of downtime and the loss of around 560 MRI slots. This unplanned outage has further compounded an existing demand-versus-capacity deficit within the MRI service, which is also under additional pressure due to increased Radiology demand associated with the HBS outpatient in-sourcing contract. Currently, the Health Board is managing a backlog of around 2,000 patients breaching the eight-week referral-to-diagnostic target set by the Welsh Government. A recovery plan is in place to achieve a zero-breach position by the end of the 2025-26 financial year; however, this target cannot be met without securing additional MRI capacity. The procurement of a mobile MRI scanner from a private provider offers the most immediate and practical solution to recover lost capacity, support ongoing outpatient demand, and ensure compliance with national performance requirements. Introducing a mobile MRI unit will provide clear clinical and operational benefits. It will reduce patient waiting times, enable more timely imaging in relation to outpatient appointments, and relieve pressure on the existing MRI service.

Procuring a mobile MRI scanner is therefore both a clinically justified and operationally necessary step to ensure continuity of service, improved patient access, and compliance with Welsh Government directives.
