## Summary

The Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for Echocardiogram Services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement falls under the "services" industry category, specifically cardiology services, and is located at the Quayside Community Diagnostic Centre in Gloucester, United Kingdom. This process, initiated as a tender, culminated in the awarding of a contract to Health Now Limited on 16th July 2026, with the agreement set to last from 20th July 2026 to 31st March 2027. The contract, valued at £140,000, does not include VAT, and was based on a framework agreement without a formal competition, using a limited procurement method.

This contract award provides significant business opportunities for companies that offer specialised medical services, especially those experienced in supporting community diagnostic centres. Businesses equipped with personnel and expertise in echocardiogram services can benefit from this tender, which aims to increase capacity and clear existing backlogs in diagnostic services. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with a track record in medical services provision, particularly in the cardiology sector, would find this an ideal opportunity to expand their operations and establish long-standing partnerships with healthcare providers.
