This contract, valued at £41,040.00, was awarded urgently due to unforeseen circumstances under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023 using Direct Award Process A - Urgent situation (F03). The procurement method was limited, proceeding without prior publication of a call for competition, as an emergency measure to ensure continuity of healthcare services. This award has been made under the 'Award' procurement stage as of 1st October 2025. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those capable of delivering mobile medical services, to engage in providing essential healthcare solutions. Companies like Diagnostic Healthcare Ltd, which specialise in diagnostic services and have the capacity for rapid mobilisation and quality service delivery, are well-suited for such contracts. The focus on urgent healthcare provision opens prospective avenues for large-scale service providers to enhance their operations within the UK, ensuring they meet niche healthcare demands under regulatory urgency. This contract exemplifies an opportunity to expand service portfolios in line with health care provider regulations, promoting growth and stability in public health sector engagement. ## Notice Provision of a Mobile Ultrasound Service within a secure location ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Trust considers that an award must be made urgently, the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the Trust due to the Emergency Award by NHS England of the Head Contract for Healthcare Services at HMP Ranby to the Trust. Delaying the award of the contract to satisfy the requirements of the PSR would likely pose a risk to patient or public safety. The award term reflects the novation of existing supplier subcontracts from the incumbent on existing terms to ensure the continuity of healthcare services during the mobilisation period of less than three-months. The period of mobilisation would not have allowed the Trust to identify alternative provision for the subcontracted service. The relevant authority has awarded this contract under the Direct Award Process A - Urgent situation (F03) under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. ### Procurement Information The Trust considers that an award must be made urgently, the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the Trust due to the Emergency Award by NHS England of the Head Contract for Healthcare Services at HMP Ranby to the Trust.
