## Summary

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned insourced non-obstetric ultrasound services, classified as medical imaging services. The work supports the Trust’s ultrasound department across the sites of York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals. It addresses a substantial workforce and capacity shortfall, increased referral volumes and the need to maintain safe, timely diagnostic services for patients. The requirement is for an external provider to supply the operational capacity and staff needed to deliver non-obstetric ultrasound examinations. The buyer is York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at York Hospital. The selected provider was Yorkshire Health Solutions Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the service can be delivered by a specialist independent healthcare provider rather than only by a large national organisation.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Yorkshire Health Solutions Ltd was selected under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) 2023 urgent award provision, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The award decision was made on 9 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 10 July 2026. The initial contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 October 2026, with an option to extend by up to five months to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £272,000 for the initial period and £642,000 including the extension option. Selection considered immediate capacity to start quickly, together with quality and value appropriate to the urgent circumstances; price was the stated award criterion.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this Trust, this award demonstrates a need for deployable non-obstetric ultrasound capacity across York and Scarborough. A credible competitor would need access to suitably capable ultrasound staff and the operational capacity to begin services at short notice, helping the Trust manage referral volumes and protect timely diagnosis and treatment. The requirement also shows that the buyer considers service quality and value alongside price, so suppliers should be able to evidence reliable clinical delivery and an appropriate value proposition. The urgent route followed an earlier competitive process in which the selected provider could not supply the required staff, making workforce resilience and dependable mobilisation particularly important. An SME has been selected, suggesting the requirement is within reach of a focused independent healthcare imaging provider.
