## Summary

The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the insourcing of echocardiography services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract, valued at £176,046, does not fall under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and was awarded based on a framework agreement without competition. The contract services will commence from 27th July 2026 to 31st March 2027 in the UKG1 region. The procurement method was limited, aligning with the PSR award from a framework, and did not involve a prior publication of a call for competition. The supplier, GLOBE LOCUMS LIMITED, had previously been awarded a contract through a competitive pricing exercise with the NHS Workforce Alliance Framework.

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare services, specifically those specialising in cardiology, to engage with the NHS. Although the contract has been awarded to a known supplier, businesses with competitive pricing and quality service offerings can find avenues within similar framework agreements and provider selection regimes. Companies that can offer innovative solutions, efficiency, and quality in medical services stand to gain business growth by aligning with the NHS's procurement strategies and service demands in the future.
