The work is a clinical support service: an external provider supplies insourced ultrasound appointments for the health board. The procurement is categorised as hospital and related services (CPV 85110000). NHS Lanarkshire is the buying organisation. The contracting information does not identify a delivery site, so the requirement should be understood as supporting the board’s ultrasound services rather than being tied to a named hospital or town. The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Intersource Medical Services was selected as supplier. The stated requirement was to provide ultrasound appointment capacity through 31 March 2027; the award description says the board may extend the contract for one further 12-month period for additional appointments. No award date or contract value is recorded. The process was a competition within a dynamic purchasing system. Eleven bids were received; the reported valid bid values ranged from £92,374 to £184,112. The available procurement details do not set out lots, supplier eligibility requirements or the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be established from the published information. This award shows demand from NHS Lanarkshire for externally supplied ultrasound appointment capacity, with the independent sector used to add clinical capacity to existing services. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide a dependable service capable of delivering ultrasound appointments at the required scale, and to operate effectively in a healthcare setting. The award does not describe specific equipment, staffing levels, qualifications, accreditations, service locations or performance standards, so these cannot be treated as confirmed requirements. Eleven bids indicate that a number of suppliers competed for this work, while the spread of reported valid bid prices shows price competition was relevant. Providers with established ultrasound delivery capability and the capacity to support health-board demand would be best placed to assess a comparable requirement. ## Notice NHS Lanarkshire has identified a need for insourced ultrasound appointment capacity throughout the remainder of financial year 2026-27 (until 31st March 2027) which it seeks to fill from the independent sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT567141 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS Lanarkshire | | Additional buyers | Moray Council; NHS Fife; NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde; North Lanarkshire Council; Perth & Kinross Council; Registers of Scotland; Scottish Government | | Locality | BOTHWELL | | Postcode area | Glasgow | | Postcode | G71 8BB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Bothwell and Uddingston | | Westminster constituency | Rutherglen | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 15 | | Supplier names | Intersource Medical Services Ltd; bca insulation; Venesky Brown Ltd; EKOS; Robertson Group; Crest Advisory (UK) Ltd; Invoka Consulting Limited; 15489790; GRITIT; GGS Agri Ltd; Iken Business Limited; Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd; ERS Ltd; McTaggart Construction Ltd; Fleming Buildings Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85110000 - Hospital and related services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2026 at 18:51 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT567141 ## Notice URLs - http://https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - http://www.moray.gov.uk - http://www.nhsfife.org - http://www.nhsggc.scot/about-us/procurement/ - http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottishprocurement.scot ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
