## Summary

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is exploring guided ultrasound technology to support a clinician-led, point-of-care pathway for patients with suspected lower-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The solution is intended for use across Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, both in London. The requirement is for a service supporting the clinical pathway, rather than simply a purchase of ultrasound equipment: the Trust is seeking information about available solutions that could enable clinicians to use ultrasound at the point of care when assessing suspected DVT. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust, through North West London Procurement Services, is managing the procurement.

This is at the planning stage: the buyer has signalled an intention to procure and is conducting preliminary market engagement, not inviting tenders. Suppliers were asked to provide information through an RFI exercise; the buyer expected responses by 9 November 2026 and expected a subsequent notice on 13 November 2026. The planned contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). The procurement is arranged as one lot. No contract award or supplier selection has yet taken place; the process remains an exploration of market solutions before a future procurement.

The market engagement is relevant to suppliers able to provide guided ultrasound technology and associated services for a clinician-led, point-of-care pathway for suspected lower-limb DVT. Suppliers with solutions suitable for deployment across hospital settings may wish to help shape the buyer’s understanding of what is available. The stated requirement centres on supporting clinical assessment at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital. The buyer is seeking information on available solutions, so suppliers can use the engagement to explain how their offering supports this use case and its intended hospital pathway. The buyer has not set out specific technical specifications, accreditation requirements, or supplier experience criteria at this planning stage; the engagement is for market information, not a tender bid.
