The service involves reviewing PMCT scans and producing radiology reports to support post-mortem investigations. It is a healthcare reporting service within the pathology services category (CPV 85111800), rather than the supply of scanning equipment or general diagnostic imaging. The requirement is for one service lot and is intended for delivery in Northamptonshire. Tenderers will need to follow the Council’s service specification and tender documents, answer all questions and comply with the stated word limits. Communications and clarifications are handled through the Council’s electronic tendering portal, which is also used for submitting the tender response. The procurement has reached the tender stage: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. Questions were due by 14 September 2026 at 23:59, and tender responses by 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision period ended on 6 October 2026 at 23:59:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2028, with one optional one-year extension, potentially ending on 26 October 2029. The estimated tender value is £480,000 excluding VAT and £576,000 including VAT. The single lot is separately recorded with the same amounts but an AED currency designation. Evaluation is weighted 55% price and 45% quality. Electronic submission is allowed in English. This opportunity suits organisations that provide specialist radiology reporting for post-mortem computed tomography and can deliver reports for a public-sector pathology service. Relevant suppliers are likely to have appropriately qualified radiologists or reporting professionals, established processes for interpreting PMCT imaging, and experience producing clear, accurate reports for post-mortem investigations. The work may suit a specialist medical reporting company, pathology provider or healthcare organisation with access to suitable clinical expertise and operational capacity. Suppliers should be prepared to work to the Council’s service specification, respond fully to every tender question, observe word limits and manage all clarification and submission activity through the electronic tendering system. The requirement is focused on reporting capability rather than equipment provision. ## Notice Post-Mortem Computed Tomography (PMCT) Radiology Reporting Please refer to Schedule 1 - Service Specification PMCT Reporting Northamptonshire V08 for further details.
