## Summary

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an insourced musculoskeletal (MSK) injection service to reduce its existing clinical backlog. The requirement covers weekend ultrasound sessions for MSK injections, delivered by a specialist sonographer and an assistant. The work is based in the radiology ultrasound department at Leighton Hospital, Crewe. This is a healthcare service rather than a supply or construction contract. The procurement was for a single service requirement, with health services as its stated classification. It is relevant to providers able to supply appropriately skilled ultrasound and clinical support staff for weekend hospital sessions, with the operational capability to work within an NHS radiology department and support injection activity for musculoskeletal patients.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 1 July 2026 under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using regulation 18 and framework SBS10203. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, based on a framework agreement. Globe Workforce Solutions was selected as the supplier. The active contract was signed on 1 July 2026, runs from 1 July to 31 December 2026, and is valued at £108,000. The recorded award criterion was price. The process states that the award decision followed Mid Cheshire internal governance and that no conflicts of interest were identified. The single lot is recorded as cancelled.

This award demonstrates demand from Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for additional weekend capacity in hospital ultrasound services, specifically to address an MSK injection backlog. A credible future competitor would need access to specialist sonography capability, suitably experienced assistants and a reliable staffing model covering weekend sessions. Providers should also be able to deliver safely within an NHS radiology ultrasound department and support the clinical workflow associated with musculoskeletal injections. The requirement may suit healthcare staffing businesses, insourcing providers or specialist clinical service organisations that can mobilise a small, appropriately skilled team and offer competitive pricing through a framework-based route. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the scale can be accessible to smaller specialist providers.
