## Summary

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust has recently updated their procurement process for the Outsourced Echocardiology Service. The contract, classified under Health services (CPV 85100000), involves a direct award and is regulated by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. Notably, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The contract was awarded on 28th February 2024 and will be valid from 28th February 2024 to 31st March 2026. The contract value is £225,000 and will be executed at Salford Royal Hospital, Salford, UK.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in delivering outsourced echocardiography diagnostic and reporting services. As the contract has been awarded without prior publication of a call for competition under a limited procurement method, businesses providing similar services should consider maintaining high performance standards as expected by the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. Large organisations like FCMS (NW) Limited, which has an established track record, are well-suited to compete in these types of tender processes that focus on continuous quality service delivery. Successful tendering can offer sustained business growth by securing long-term commitments from regional health authorities.
