## Summary

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed an award process for the insourcing of clinical support services, specifically focusing on the provision of echocardiograms. The project involves supplying medical personnel services to support the Trust Waiting List Strategy at Freeman Hospital, located in the UKC22 region. The procurement method employed was limited without prior publication. This decision reflects the trust in Elective Services Ltd, which was awarded the contract on 19th June 2025. The contract, valued at £314,160, aims to deliver 110 echocardiograms per week over 42 weeks, leveraging the SBS Clinical Insourcing Framework.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical personnel services. Elective Services Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, was able to secure the contract by demonstrating a competitive pricing strategy and a reliable capacity to meet the Trust's needs. Companies with similar competence, the ability to provide flexible staffing levels, and expertise in healthcare support services would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. This procurement process underscores the importance of having experienced staff and the capacity to adapt to client requirements in the healthcare sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Insourcing of clinical support services - Echo. To provide 110 echocardiograms per week, for 42 weeks to support the Trust Waiting List Strategy utilising the SBS Clinical Insourcing Framework.

### Procurement Information

Elective Services provide consistently high volumes from experienced staff, and have been very reliable. Other suppliers we have used provide their own preference of availability which often doesn't cover the Trust's requirements. Elective Services offer availability on a daily basis and weekends. They are also more able to respond quickly to the Trust's needs, whether that is increasing or decreasing the number of staff/scans as necessary, as they have a large pool of physiologists. 
Comparison of providers on the SBS framework, shows that Elective Services are one of the lowest priced providers for the service required.
