Publisher note: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 15th October 2024. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Contact: stephen.marshman@nhs.net<br/><br/>The decision-makers were: Operational Manager for Imaging at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust; Head of Contracts at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust; Director of Business Intelligence & Performance at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust. The decision was ratified by the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust Executive Committee on 2nd October 2024. No conflicts of interest were declared.<br/><br/>The key criteria considered for the recommendation to award is based on the experience and capacity of providers to accurately and within required timescales report on images relating to patients with potential Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma. This skillsket is rare as there are only 5 nationally designated centres for this NHS activity. The Authority considered each of the key criteria equally. This included the likely ability to report complex scans without re-reporting (Quality and Innovation); the importance of accuracy due to the costs and resources implications (Value). The provider selected as the most suitable provider has significant experience in this niche area and the capacity (in terms of number of radiologists) to deliver the significant volumes of activity required each month. Other providers considered had some radiologists who could potentially meet the need, but not at the same level and in some cases in only a related field.
