PSR Urgent Award for the Provision of Symptomatic Breast Imaging & OP Services

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has concluded a procurement process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 with Intersource Medical Services Ltd for the urgent provision of symptomatic breast imaging and outpatient services. This urgent contract addresses a significant capacity issue caused by unforeseen staff sickness, posing risks to patients on urgent cancer pathways if unresolved. The contract, valued up to £145,215 including extension options, was awarded using the limited procurement method without prior competition due to the immediate need, bypassing requirements of the Procurement Act 2023.

Effective from 20 November 2025 to 28 February 2026, the contract offers an extension option, providing flexibility for service continuity at the Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust in region UKE11. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the medical imaging and outpatient care sectors, particularly those with the capacity to respond to urgent health service demands. SMEs like Intersource Medical Services Ltd, which was awarded the contract, demonstrate the potential for smaller enterprises to successfully secure contracts in health services by addressing urgent procurement needs.

Businesses specialising in medical imaging services, outpatient care, and health sector supply chain management may find similar opportunities for collaboration and growth by aligning their offerings with urgent and high-demand areas within the healthcare system.
