## Summary

The Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract to Health Now Limited for the provision of clinical radiology support, specifically for DEXA scanning services. This contract, valued at £30,227.20, spans from 18th August 2024 to 17th January 2025 and primarily covers the legacy sites of St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals (STHK) in the UKD4 and UKD7 regions. The procurement process falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This notice confirms the award under a framework agreement without prior competition, and the procurement method was limited.

Businesses in the medical imaging services sector, particularly those specialising in DEXA scanning, would find growth opportunities through such tenders. This contract might be particularly attractive to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering specialised radiology services. The procurement process was designed to ensure sustained quality but did not weigh price as a competitive factor, highlighting the significance of service and expertise. Companies adept at providing repeated or new services akin to their existing portfolios could strongly benefit from similar tenders, helping them expand their operations within the healthcare industry.

## Notice

This is a one-year agreement with Health Now Limited, with no commitment on length of the term, for the provision of clinical radiology support specifically related to DEXA scanning on the legacy STHK sites. This is a specialist type of scan which measures bone strength and density.
