Insourcing of Radiographers

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the procurement process for insourcing radiographers to conduct MRI scans using mobile MRI units for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. This process, classified under the health industry category, took place in Cardiff, UK. It utilised a limited procurement method, eschewing the need for prior publication of a call for competition, in accordance with the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025.

The key deadline for representations by providers was set for 20th June 2025, with the contract valued at £900,000 signed on 2nd June 2025. The procurement stage of this process is marked as complete, emphasizing the award to JENNIE REEVES RADIOGRAPHERS AGENCY LIMITED. This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, primarily for firms specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focusing on diagnostic imaging and radiography.

Companies with expertise in providing qualified radiographers for MRI scanning stand to benefit significantly. The clear preference for experienced providers capable of meeting high-quality standards makes this an ideal chance for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a proven track record in medical imaging. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity to enhance their reputation and credibility within the public health service sector in Wales, while contributing to reducing patient waiting times through efficient service delivery.
