## Summary

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust procured outsourced radiology reporting, also known as teleradiology, covering routine, elective and emergency imaging services. The requirement was divided into three service areas: out-of-hours and urgent reporting; reporting within 72 hours; and routine and subspecialist reporting within 96 hours. Delivery is for the Trust’s services in Southampton and the surrounding area represented by the Southampton locality. The procurement is for medical imaging services, including the reporting of radiological examinations rather than the supply of imaging equipment. It concerns existing services delivered by new providers, with the Trust acting as the public-sector buyer. Suppliers therefore need to provide dependable remote radiology reporting across urgent, defined turnaround and routine or specialist workloads.

The procurement has reached the award stage following a re-evaluation under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. AxonMedical Ltd was selected for out-of-hours and urgent reporting at £6,503,735; DMC Imaging Ltd for reporting within 72 hours at £5,906,937; and Medica Reporting Limited for routine and subspecialist reporting within 96 hours at £1,833,465. The three contracts were signed on 14 September 2026 and are scheduled to start on 1 December 2026, each for three years with five 12-month extension options. The process used a limited competitive framework procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and cost at 60%. Ten bids were received for Lots 1 and 2, and nine for Lot 3.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from a major NHS trust for outsourced radiology reporting across urgent, rapid-turnaround, routine and subspecialist work. A credible future competitor would need the clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver remote reporting reliably across these distinct service levels, including out-of-hours and emergency demand. The requirement also indicates that buyers will distinguish between turnaround commitments and specialist reporting coverage, so providers should be able to evidence performance against clearly defined reporting times and maintain sufficient radiologist availability. The competitive route was a framework-based provider selection process, and the evaluation placed greater weight on cost than quality. Relevant suppliers are established radiology reporting organisations able to support sustained NHS service delivery at significant scale.
