## Summary

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust awarded outsourced echocardiology and ECG services, classified as cardiology services, under the NHS Supply Chain framework for cardiac and pulmonary diagnostics and exercise stress-testing solutions. The requirement is for external provision of cardiac diagnostic services, supporting the Trust’s cardiology and operational teams. Delivery is associated with the East of England, with the Trust based at Colney Lane, Norwich. The selected supplier, iRhythm Technologies Ltd, is a UK small or medium-sized enterprise based in Bagshot, Surrey. The arrangement is a framework award made without a further competition, so relevant businesses are providers of outsourced echocardiology, ECG and related cardiac diagnostic services able to work with NHS hospital organisations and framework arrangements.

This procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to iRhythm Technologies Ltd and signed on 16 September 2026. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an expected value of £111,296. It was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 through the NHS Supply Chain framework, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The award was made without competition under the framework. Price was the stated evaluation criterion, and one bid was recorded; its value was £111,296. The procurement covered one service requirement. The contract is active, while the associated lot is recorded as cancelled in the procurement data.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for outsourced echocardiology and ECG provision, with cardiac diagnostic delivery procured through an established NHS Supply Chain framework. A credible future competitor would need clinical capability in echocardiology and ECG services, the capacity to support hospital cardiology operations, and the systems and governance needed to deliver diagnostic work for an NHS Foundation Trust. Experience of cardiac and pulmonary diagnostics, exercise or stress testing solutions, and working within NHS procurement and framework arrangements would be directly relevant. The award was assessed on price, so suppliers would also need a cost-effective delivery model alongside appropriate clinical quality, operational resilience and compliance arrangements. The successful provider was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist rather than only a large national organisation.
