## Summary

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust has announced the award for the provision of upright MRI scanning services, to span from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2026, at their Salford Royal Hospital location in the UKD region. The title of the procurement is "Upright MRI Scans," classified under the medical imaging services industry category. This contract has been granted through a direct award process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The formal award date is noted as 12th November 2025. The procurement method did not require prior publication of a call for competition, indicating a more limited approach tailored to specific providers.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in medical imaging services. The contract, valued at £110,000, was awarded to Medserena Upright MRI Centre, a small to medium-sized enterprise located in Manchester, demonstrating such organisations' capacity to secure substantial contracts under specialised provider selection environments. Businesses with expertise in medical technology, particularly those capable of delivering high-standard imaging solutions, would have been well-suited to compete in this specialised procurement process, as it opens avenues for extended collaboration with healthcare institutions like the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust.
