## Summary

NHS Ayrshire & Arran procured mobile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) services, using an MRI mobile van to provide diagnostic imaging for patients across Ayrshire and Arran. The requirement is a service rather than the purchase of equipment, and covers the operation and provision of mobile MRI capacity for the health board. The work is delivered in the Ayrshire and Arran area. It is relevant to diagnostic imaging providers, mobile medical imaging operators and healthcare service companies able to supply and operate MRI facilities for an NHS customer. The procurement is classified as imaging services (CPV 85150000). The requirement is an extension and variation to an existing contract, rather than a separate purchase of a new standalone service.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. NHS Ayrshire & Arran made a direct award without publishing a prior call for competition, drawing on the NP16923 Imaging Services framework. medneo Diagnostics UK Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is valued at £1,180,000. The initial term is 229 days, with an option described in the requirement to extend to 356 days, or 12 months, from the stated starting point. There was one bid, recorded as an SME bid and submitted electronically. The procurement covered one lot and was handled as a variation through a contract change notice to existing contract AA-221-26-DA.

This award demonstrates an established NHS requirement for mobile MRI provision in Ayrshire and Arran, with sufficient scale to support a substantial specialist service. A credible future competitor would need access to mobile MRI equipment, the clinical and technical staff to operate it, and the systems needed to deliver diagnostic imaging safely within NHS settings. Relevant experience in healthcare imaging, service continuity, patient scheduling, reporting arrangements and compliance with clinical governance requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position. Familiarity with NHS procurement and imaging-services frameworks would also matter, particularly where the buyer uses a framework route or extends an existing arrangement. Providers able to combine mobile infrastructure with dependable operational capacity are the closest fit.
