Summary, notice description and lot information
The South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Middlesbrough, is progressing within the procurement stage, focusing on the award of a contract for "Echo Scans Additional Services" to address critical shortages in cardiology services. This procurement falls under the health industry category, specifically cardiology services (CPV 85121231), covering the UKC12 region. The contracting process follows a 'limited' procurement method under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, indicating an intention to award without a prior call for competition.
The announcement signals the start of a standstill period, with representations required by 3rd December 2025, before the contract, valued at £70,000, is signed with ICS Operations T/A Xyla Elective Care by 21st November 2025. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical services industry, particularly those experienced in providing specialised healthcare services under similar regulatory frameworks—a unique advantage due to the national shortage of Echocardiographers. SMEs like ICS Operations, the current supplier, are well-suited given the urgent demand to meet the Trust's cardiology service needs, ensuring patient care continuity and operational efficiency within the Trust.
Businesses with capabilities in echo diagnostics and staff augmentation for healthcare settings might find particular growth prospects in responding to such high-demand, specialised service needs.
