Address for Written Representations Providers wishing to submit a written representation during the standstill period should write to: Email: Ben.Evans4@wales.nhs.uk (Procurement Business Manager, acting on behalf of Cardiff & Vale UHB) Cardiff & Vale University Health Board has determined that the proposed contracting arrangement—namely, the provision of a fully staffed mobile CT scanning service—is capable of being delivered only by the chosen provider, Diagnostics Healthcare Ltd, due to the following reasons: Diagnostics Healthcare was the only supplier able to provide a fully staffed mobile GE Revolution Evo CT scanner, meet the required service start date, and deliver the service without mobilisation or additional delivery cost, while demonstrating full compliance with technical and clinical governance requirements. Based on the nature of the services—high‑risk diagnostic imaging requiring specific equipment, specialist clinical staffing, rapid mobilisation and full compliance with imaging governance standards—Diagnostics Healthcare is the only provider capable of delivering the required service model within the necessary timeframe. The award decision was made by Cardiff & Vale UHB following recommendation by NWSSP Procurement Services. The decision‑makers included: Kyle Rees – General Manager, Radiology, Medical Physics & Clinical Engineering The award decision‑makers selected Diagnostics Healthcare Ltd for the following reasons: Diagnostics Healthcare submitted the most economically advantageous compliant proposal. The provider met all technical, staffing, operational, and governance requirements, including provision of a GE Revolution Evo CT scanner, two HCPC‑registered radiographers, an HCA option, welfare unit, and low‑dose scanning capability. Diagnostics Healthcare operates under ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and maintains a strong imaging governance framework, supporting safe delivery of high‑risk clinical services. The combination of technical compliance, clinical governance, best value and mobilisation capability made Diagnostics Healthcare the only suitable provider. Excluded Providers Four providers were excluded because they did not meet the minimum service specification. All evaluation panel members completed declaration‑of‑interest checks prior to participating in the assessment. No conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest were declared. Standard NWSSP conflict‑of‑interest procedures were applied: Individuals were required to declare any real or perceived conflicts. No declarations were made, therefore no additional conflict‑mitigation actions were required. No information has been withheld under Regulation 23(1). All relevant details regarding the award, supplier selection and exclusion decisions have been published or made available to providers. (WA Ref:160664)
