Summary of the contracting process
The Department of Health & Social Care, based in London, is engaging in a planning stage for the procurement process titled "Independent Sector Collaboration in Diagnostic Service Transformation." This market engagement focuses on services related to diagnostics and radiodiagnostic devices and supplies for health services.
The initiative is part of the larger 10 Year Health Plan for England, with the aim of boosting diagnostic service capacities in partnership with the Independent Sector. Vital dates include a submission deadline for the Collaboration Questionnaire on 18th December 2025.
The procurement is initially at the planning stage, with the procurement method focusing on a collaborative approach rather than a competitive one, and no financial commitment has been specified at this stage. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of innovating and enhancing productivity and infrastructure.
Engaging in this initiative allows businesses to contribute to nationwide healthcare improvements and address diagnostic demands, setting the stage for growth through the provision of approximately 2 million additional tests by 2029.
The notice in full
This market engagement is an opportunity to understand the IS offer so that we can inspire systems and trusts to work in partnership to achieve elective recovery and enable the ambition of the 10YHP. Diagnostic demand and capacity modelling estimates that 35% of the capacity required between 2026/27 and 2028/29 needs to come from the IS.
This equates to an estimated additional 2 million tests and could be achieved through either capacity or productivity initiatives, including digital infrastructure and tools.
