The contract, identified as CAS599, falls under the medical imaging services category and covers the UK region, specifically in UKJ. This urgent award process was necessitated due to delays in operationalising a relocated CT scanner, with the initial period set for up to 4 weeks, extendable to a total of 10 weeks. The tender process was limited, due to extreme urgency, bypassing the competitive call for competition. Key dates include the contract award on 10th February 2025, with Prime Health Ltd selected as the service provider. The contract value is £11,300. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging services, particularly those capable of providing rapid and reliable CT scanning solutions. Prime Health Ltd, a large-scale provider based in West Sussex, exemplifies the type of business well-suited to such urgent and specialised needs. Businesses with the ability to respond quickly to emerging healthcare requirements and possess the necessary technical expertise could find similar opportunities for growth in such emergency procurement circumstances, especially within the healthcare sector. ## Notice Ashford & St Peters Hospitals NHSFT require a short term contract for the provision of CT scans and reports. Anticipated to be no longer than 4 weeks but with option to extend a further 6 weeks, up to a total of 10 weeks. This is due to unexpected delays in bringing online a CT Scanner moved from the Ashford Hospital site to the Woking Community Hospital site. It has been assessed that this award is appropriate for the Urgent Award Process because there is a large (and increasing) backlog of patients requiring CT scans. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Ashford & St Peters Hospitals NHSFT require a short term contract for the provision of CT scans and reports. Anticipated to be no longer than 4 weeks but with option to extend a further 6 weeks, up to a total of 10 weeks. This is due to unexpected delays in bringing online a CT Scanner moved from the Ashford Hospital site to the Woking Community Hospital site. It has been assessed that this award is appropriate for the Urgent Award Process because there is a large (and increasing) backlog of patients requiring CT scans. Options: The contract is expected to be no longer than 4 weeks but with option to extend a further 6 weeks, up to a total of 10 weeks. ### Procurement Information The Trust are in need of immediate assistance with CT (chest, abdo, pelvis with contrast). A CT scanner has been moved from the Ashford Hospital location to the Woking Community Hospital location; downtime was expected to be minimal but has been delayed due to unexpected additional work required to the buildings. There is no option to insource staff because the scanner is down, therefore, we must utilise external capacity which is accessible to local patients. The delay to getting the CT scanner live again after the site move was not expected. A competitive procurement would likely take a minimum of three months which is too long a timeframe. The scanner which is out of action had a typical throughput of 80-100 scans per week, this is a significant volume of scans and patient harm is anticipated if this capacity is not maintained. This direct award has been made following the Urgent Award process of the Provider Selection Regime 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009885-2025 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Feb 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £11,300 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ASHFORD AND ST PETER'S HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | CHERTSEY | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | POSTC ODE | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PRIME HEALTH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85150000 - Medical imaging services ## Release History - 18 Mar 2025 at 12:24 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009885-2025 ## Notice URLs - https://www.ashfordstpeters.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
