## Summary

London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust procured an insourced echocardiography service, providing cardiac ECHO capacity through an external healthcare provider. The requirement is classified as hospital services and is intended to support the Trust’s clinical activity and patient access. The buying organisation is based at Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow. Globe Workforce Solutions is the selected provider. The arrangement uses a framework-based route, so the relevant market is healthcare service providers able to deliver echocardiography capacity within an NHS hospital setting or for NHS hospital services. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of equipment, construction works or general staffing unrelated to cardiac diagnostics.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Globe Workforce Solutions was selected under a Provider Selection Regime-compliant framework, through a direct award without prior publication of a competition. The award is active and the associated contract is active. The contract was signed on 15 June 2026 for £135,000. The tender was evaluated on price. The procurement was presented as an urgent call-off from a pre-approved framework, intended to secure timely echocardiography capacity, maintain service continuity and achieve value for money. One bid was recorded. The framework call-off was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The recorded lot was marked cancelled, although the related award and contract are active.

This award shows a defined NHS demand for externally delivered cardiac echocardiography capacity, with urgency, continuity of care and patient access central to the buying rationale. Suppliers best placed to compete for a future requirement of this kind would be established healthcare providers with the clinical capability, suitably qualified echocardiography personnel, governance arrangements and operational capacity to deliver hospital-based cardiac diagnostic services. Experience of working with NHS trusts and of mobilising additional capacity quickly would strengthen a supplier’s position. Familiarity with framework call-offs and Provider Selection Regime requirements would also be important. The price-led evaluation indicates that a credible provider would need a competitive, transparent cost model while demonstrating reliable delivery and value for money.
