This initiative, under the legal framework of CELEX 32014L0024, is categorised within the health services industry, specifically service procurement, and is set to be deployed across Calderdale, Kirklees, Bradford, and Leeds. The ICB is conducting a market testing exercise to gauge interest and assess the feasibility of various delivery models. Potential suppliers should note that the window for expression of interest closes on 3rd June 2026 at 12 pm, with an anticipated service start date of 1st July 2027. This tender presents promising opportunities for growth, particularly for organisations specialising in health services capable of overseeing a wide geographical footprint. The procurement process is exploring two models – a Single Provider Model and a Lead Provider Model, which allows flexibility for businesses of different scales. Companies experienced in providing coordinated services in community settings, with a strong capacity for adaptability and partnership, may find this tender well-suited to their strengths. Engaging in this process can potentially enhance business portfolios and expand service networks within the health sector. ## Notice The Integrated Care Board (ICB) is undertaking a market testing exercise to inform the future commissioning of a Community Non-Obstetric Ultrasound (NOUS) service. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Current Delivery Model: The service is currently commissioned across the footprint and delivered by multiple providers in community settings, resulting in variation in access, pathways, reporting, and capacity. Future Model Under Consideration: The ICB is exploring potential options for the future commissioning of the Community Non-Obstetric Ultrasound service. At this stage, no final decision has been made. This market testing exercise is intended to understand provider appetite, capability, and the feasibility of different delivery approaches. The models currently under consideration are: Single Provider Model A single organisation holds responsibility for delivering the full service across the entire footprint. Lead Provider Model One organisation holds the contract and takes overall accountability for the service, working with partner organisations or subcontractors to deliver services across the footprint. Through this engagement, the ICB is seeking feedback on the viability, risks, benefits, and delivery considerations associated with each model to inform future procurement strategy.
