The contract involves the provision of radiographers to perform MRI scans using mobile MRI units for the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. This tender falls within the health industry category, and its delivery extends to Cardiff, servicing the UK region. The procurement process was executed through a limited method, specifically the Provider Selection Regime Wales, which bypassed the usual competitive call for competition. Key dates include the contract signing on 16th December 2025, with a standstill period ending on 29th December 2025. The total value of the contract amounts to £436,800 GBP. This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for service providers in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in radiography and medical diagnostics. Given its focus on insourcing radiography services, businesses that supply mobile radiography units or have competent radiographers can expand their operations by participating in such government contracts. SMEs like Jennie Reeves Radiographers Agency Limited, which was awarded the contract, demonstrate the potential for smaller businesses to successfully compete, suggesting that providers with similar capabilities could leverage such opportunities. The contract supports the efforts of the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board to enhance diagnostic capacity, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing waiting times. Businesses capable of offering quality healthcare services or expanding the reach of medical technology in public health settings may find similar tenders advantageous for entering or strengthening their position in the public procurement market. ## Notice This contract pertains to the insourcing of radiographers to perform MRI scans on patients using mobile MRI units, on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This contract relates to the provision of insourced radiography services to support the delivery of MRI scanning across mobile MRI units owned by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAVUHB).
