STAFFED MOBILE MRI VAN HIRE

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has completed a procurement process for the provision of a staffed mobile MRI van under the NHS Supply Chain Framework Agreement. The procurement, classified under medical imaging services, was conducted using a selective call-off from a framework agreement and awarded to Medispace Diagnostics Ltd. The service is set to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, with a contract period starting on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 30th April 2025.

An initial tender period ended on 7th March 2025, and the award was finalised on 21st March 2025, with the contract valued at £245,700. This contract creates opportunities for businesses engaged in medical imaging technologies and mobile healthcare service providers. Particularly, it can appeal to small and medium-sized enterprises since the procurement framework supports engagement with SMEs, although it is not designed for VCSE entities.

As the service involves regional delivery, organisations with logistical capacity and expertise in operating medical imaging equipment stand to benefit. This procurement could facilitate business growth, enabling suppliers to engage with public healthcare frameworks and expand their service capabilities in the medical sector.
