## Summary

The NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board is set to award a contract for the provision of Community Ultrasound Services for North-East Hampshire and Farnham patients. This falls under the medical imaging services category, focusing primarily on direct access non-obstetric ultrasounds. The procurement stage is in the award phase, according to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The process involves a standstill period where representations must be submitted by 17 February 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £1,347,046 for a potential 2-year term, is scheduled to commence from 1 April 2026, with responsibilities transitioning to the NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board due to organisational restructuring.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in medical imaging services and those capable of maintaining high standards of quality and collaboration. As the procurement process has adopted a limited method focusing on a single provider, potential businesses could benefit by preparing for future options to showcase their competencies against criteria such as quality, innovation, and social value. Companies that excel in offering healthcare services with an emphasis on integration and patient-centric care would find this an attractive opportunity to align with NHS standards and contribute to improving regional healthcare.

## Notice

NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission provision to provide Community Ultrasound Services for patients in the North-East Hampshire and Farnham geographical locality. The service provides direct access non-obstetric ultrasounds to eligible patients, including pre-appointment communication with patients, diagnostic investigation and a report being sent to the referrer, which covers not only the description of the investigation and the findings, but also where appropriate covers any recommendations for further imaging or investigation and advice on management. The aim of the service is to aid early diagnostics and avoid the need for unnecessary referral to secondary care, or to support the shift of activity into a primary care setting, where this will improve access. Referrals into the service are made by GPs or Clinical Assessment Services. Frimley ICB has followed PSR Direct Award C for the contract to which this notice relates.

Referrals into the service are made by GPs or Clinical Assessment Services. Frimley ICB has followed PSR Direct Award C for the contract to which this notice relates. The total expected value of the contract for the initial 1-year contract term is PS673,523 The optional 1-year extension expected value of the contract is PS673,523 Therefore, the full expected lifetime contract value (1yr +1yr) is PS1,347,046. The payment mechanism under the contract is cost-per-case, and so the actual value of the contract will depend on actual activity levels. The contract period will commence on 01 April 2026. From 01 April 2026, NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board will cease to exist as a statutory commissioning body as a result of NHS organisational restructuring, with all commissioning responsibilities for this service transferring to NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board. This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: Evidence that InsideVue have satisfied the existing contract to a sufficient standard according to the detail outlined in the contract: they provided all of the required documentation, information and policies for the existing contract. They have followed the contractual service specification, not deviated from Frimley ICB Safeguarding requirements, charged the correct local prices as per the contract, issued invoices correctly in accordance with the Frimley ICB process, complied with Quality reporting requirements, and followed Schedule 6A reporting requirements. They have complied with/not fallen foul of the applicable NHS Standard Contract (Shorter Form) Service Conditions, including Service Conditions in relation to the following: service standards, co-operation, information requirements, safeguarding, payment terms and quality requirements. They have also complied with/not fallen foul of the applicable shorter Form General Conditions, including those relating to liability & indemnity, assignment & sub-contracting, and Information Governance. The new contracting arrangements are based on a rollover of the previous contracting arrangements/schedules which the provider has already satisfied/complied with to a high standard, and so the provider will highly be likely to be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.

Options: Option to extend by up to 1 year.
