Staffed mobile scanning units

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust recently completed a public procurement process for the provision of staffed mobile scanning units, specifically targeting relocatable MRI scanners for Worthing & Southlands Hospitals in West Sussex. The procurement was classified under the medical imaging services industry category. Positioned in the South East region of the United Kingdom (postal code BN11 2DH), this selective procurement process was conducted through a framework agreement.

Initially planned for a contract period from 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025, the project included an option to extend until 30th September 2026. The procurement process reached the award stage with an award date of 31st March 2025, involving a contract valued at GBP 3,924,554, secured by Compleo Health Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME). This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the medical technology and services industry, particularly those specialising in advanced imaging solutions and staffing.

With options to add or adjust the scanner units, including the possible incorporation of CT scanners, there is potential for ongoing engagement and contract extensions. Companies experienced in providing high-quality cardiac imaging services, with capabilities for specialised radiographer deployment, are particularly well-suited to such opportunities. The contract underscores the significant demand for specialised medical imaging equipment and services, allowing businesses to expand their operations within the UK's healthcare sector.
