## Summary

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured medical physics services supporting MRI across radiology at St Richard’s Hospital, Worthing Hospital and Southlands Hospital. The work concerns radiation protection services for MRI, providing specialist medical physics support to these hospital radiology services. The named buyer is University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust was selected to provide the service. The requirement is focused on MRI-related medical physics across the three named hospital sites, rather than general radiology provision or a broad, multi-site clinical services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. The buyer used a direct award, citing specialist expertise and capacity available from a single source. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 22 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £202,859 excluding VAT (£243,431 including VAT). The process was divided into one lot, covering the MRI medical physics requirement across St Richard’s, Worthing and Southlands. The award was made on 12 October 2026. The published rationale classifies the basis as technical reasons associated with a single supplier.

This award shows demand for specialist medical physics and radiation protection support for MRI within University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust’s radiology services. A credible competitor for a similar future requirement would need demonstrable MRI-specific medical physics expertise and enough specialist capacity to support services across St Richard’s, Worthing and Southlands. The direct award rationale indicates that the buyer considered the relevant expertise and capacity to be available from only one source, so a supplier would need to evidence a suitably distinctive capability and the ability to cover all three sites. The requirement is narrowly focused on MRI support and radiation protection, making experience in those areas more relevant than general medical physics or broader healthcare services.
