## Summary

Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board is procuring specialist radiographer staffing services for two mobile MRI units deployed across Welsh Health Boards. The service supports diagnostic imaging capacity, waiting-list recovery activity and continuity of patient care. This is a healthcare staffing and medical specialist services requirement, covering radiographers who can work within mobile MRI operations. Delivery is across Welsh Health Boards, with the buying organisation based in Cardiff. The proposed supplier is a specialist radiographers agency, indicating that the requirement is for an established workforce service rather than equipment supply, construction or general clinical support. The procurement is associated with health services and medical specialist services (CPV 85100000 and 85121200).

The process records an intended award under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, using Direct Award Process 2 without a prior competition. The proposed supplier is Jennie Reeves Radiographers Agency Limited, and one bid was recorded, from an SME. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026, with a value of £507,790 excluding VAT, for 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The recorded award and contract are active, although the notice states that formal award remains subject to the standstill period, with representations due by 20 August 2026. Evaluation gave 100% weight to whether the existing provider was satisfactorily delivering the original contract and likely to meet the proposed requirement. The single recorded lot is marked cancelled.

This requirement suits agencies able to provide specialist radiographers for mobile MRI services across Wales, with sufficient workforce stability and operational capacity to maintain continuity. The selected supplier was valued for successfully delivering the service over several years, demonstrating relevant operational experience and the ability to support diagnostic imaging and waiting-list recovery. A credible future competitor would need a dependable pool of appropriately skilled radiographers, robust scheduling and mobilisation arrangements, and evidence of sustained performance in comparable healthcare staffing services. Experience integrating with NHS Wales teams and supporting multiple mobile units would strengthen a supplier’s position. The evaluation approach also shows the importance of service quality, innovation, collaboration, sustainability, access, health equality, patient choice, social value and competitive pricing.
