This tender process is in the "tender" stage, with a focus on goods that will assist healthcare organisations across the UK, including NHS bodies, in managing patient backlogs and providing mobile treatment facilities closer to patients' homes. The procurement employs a selective method through restricted procedure and is set to conclude its tender period by 2nd September 2028. The dynamic system is divided into three Lots, involving either hire, purchase, or management services of the mobile units, with an overarching contract value of £30,000,000. This opportunity opens avenues for businesses specialising in vehicle manufacturing, medical equipment suppliers, and service providers that are looking to establish or expand their supply networks within the public healthcare sector. Companies capable of delivering equipped medical units, either as standalone purchases or leased entities, and those offering services such as managed operations including staffing, are well-suited to submit bids. Furthermore, the DPS system's flexible terms allow suppliers to bid for multiple Lots, maximizing business growth potential through substantial, long-term contracts with the NHS and related health organisations. Electronic submission via the specified portal ensures accessibility and efficiency in participating in this dynamic tendering process. ## Notice This DPS will offer mobile diagnostic and/or treatment units to healthcare and/or other organisations in the UK public sector. These units within the NHS would increase capacity within organisations to help facilitate the delivery of the elective programme and to help with waiting lists, patient backlogs and lack of staff availability/space. Suppliers would work closely with healthcare organisations to deliver easily accessible treatments or diagnostics, either on hospital sites or closer to patients homes in more remote areas (for example at supermarkets, GP practices etc.). By working with healthcare organisations, suppliers will relieve pressure on services by improving access to treatments and bed space, reducing patient waiting times and freeing up clinical capacity. Units are usually provided in the form of vans or non-permanent units/cabins. The DPS will be in three Lots: Lot 1 - Hire or Lease of Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) Lot 2 - Purchase of Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) Lot 3 - Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) as a Managed Service Applications may be made to one or more Lots. ### Lot Information Hire or Lease of Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) This Lot is for the hire or lease of a fully equipped mobile diagnostic and/or treatment unit.
