The procurement, concluded through a direct award to Performs Assessment Ltd, was driven by the need for continuity and specialized expertise, as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023. This contract, valued at approximately £444,686.12, commenced on 14th February 2026 and is set to run until 31st October 2026. The initiative is classified under health services and clinical information system categories, reflecting its focus on medical education and the enhancement of radiologists' diagnostic capabilities across the UK, with NHS England operating from their headquarters in London. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in health services, particularly those specialising in clinical systems and medical education. The direct award method implies a trusted partnership that leverages existing technical expertise and intellectual property rights, suggesting that businesses equipped with legacy system knowledge or specialized technical capabilities in similar fields could position themselves advantageously for future opportunities. Large-scale suppliers experienced in healthcare innovation and service models are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes, as they can provide the essential infrastructure and specialized services needed by central government bodies such as NHS England. ## Notice The Breast Test and Train (TaT) service supports the quality assurance work and provides NHSE with assurance of the ability of radiologists within the NHS Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) to accurately detect the range of cancers that they might be presented with in the population. It provides the means to enable radiologists to recognise a range of cancers, including those that are of a rarer condition which in turn, results in less harm to those undergoing mammography. Due to delays arising from administrative and operational circumstances, NHS England awarded this contract to Performs Assessment Limited , commencing -01.04.2025 to 31.10.2026 ### Procurement Information PA23 Sch.5 Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051676-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Dec 2025 | | Contract period | 14 Feb 2026 - 31 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £444,686 | | Contracts value | £444,686 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PERFORMS ASSESSMENT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 48814400 - Clinical information system - 80320000 - Medical education services - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 2 Jun 2026 at 08:11 - AwardUpdate - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051676-2026 - 3 Feb 2026 at 11:13 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009361-2026 - 3 Feb 2026 at 10:14 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009309-2026 - 18 Dec 2025 at 16:04 - Award - UK5 - Transparency Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084572-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051676-2026 2nd June 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009361-2026 3rd February 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009309-2026 3rd February 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084572-2025 18th December 2025 - Transparency notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.england.nhs.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
