PET-CT SCAN REPORTNG (Patients)

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has concluded the award stage of a procurement process for PET-CT scan reporting at Swansea Bay University Health Board. This service, running under the Nuclear Medicine Department at Singleton Hospital in Swansea, falls within the health industry category. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition due to the existing provider's established performance and to assist with reducing waiting lists.

INHEALTH LIMITED was awarded the contract, signed on 3rd July 2025, for a total value of £241,920. The process marked as complete highlights a key relationship with the supplier who has already been engaged for a year. This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging and reporting, particularly those offering innovative or efficient reporting solutions that can support healthcare providers in managing patient volumes effectively.

Large-scale enterprises or those with established experience in similar healthcare sectors could find a competitive edge given the nature of the outsourced services and potential for ongoing collaboration as healthcare systems like the Swansea Bay University Health Board invest in bringing services in-house. Additionally, the assurances of quality and pricing from the awarded supplier showcase the importance of maintaining competitive service innovation and assurance, providing a growth pathway for qualified service providers in the healthcare domain.
