Insourcing Non Obstetric Ultrasound

The procurement process for the "Insourcing Non Obstetric Ultrasound" project was spearheaded by the London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. This award, finalised on 8th May 2025, involves medical imaging services specifically addressing Non-Obstetric Ultrasound scans. The primary goal is to mitigate the risk of breaches in patient waiting times, thereby improving access for long-waiting patients referred by GPs.

Situated in Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow (region UKI7), this initiative focuses on services within the healthcare sector. The tender proceeded through a "limited" procurement method, utilising a framework for a direct award, aimed at addressing short-term clinical needs. This tender opens avenues for businesses specialising in medical imaging services, particularly those capable of providing clinical support enhancements.

Given that the procurement used an award procedure without a prior call for competition, it represents an opportunity for suppliers like ID MEDICAL GROUP LIMITED, who was awarded the active contract valued at £205,920.00. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in health services and the ability to adapt quickly to NHS requirements would be well-suited to engage with similar procurement projects, thereby facilitating business growth and expanding their service portfolio.
