Provision of weekend CT services

The procurement process for the provision of weekend CT services has been initiated by the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Classified under health services, this contract falls within the industry category of medical imaging services. The process is under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) and does not adhere to the Procurement Act Regulations 2023.

This notice represents an intention to award, not a formal contract award, with the finalisation intended for services to commence on 1 June 2025 and conclude by 31 March 2026. The contract will take place at the PET-CT Unit within the Northern General Hospital, and the procurement method applied is a limited award procedure without a prior call for competition. Key decision-makers in the process include the Operations Director at IMPEL.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those offering medical imaging capabilities. With Alliance Medical Limited already identified as the active supplier, other businesses might find secondary opportunities in offering supplementary or innovative imaging technologies that could enhance the provision of diagnostic services. Although the direct award limits competition, businesses could benefit from aligning with niche services complementary to this contract.

Large suppliers with robust capabilities in delivering consistent and high-quality imaging services will be well-suited for involvement, supporting growth and collaboration with NHS frameworks in the region. The contract’s substantial value, amounting to £172,260, underscores its potential impact on business expansion within the healthcare sector.
