- Published justification
This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR).
Publisher note: This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under 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.<br/><br/>Justification for award under an urgent circumstance: Existing Mobile 3T MRI scanner removed for urgent repairs at short notice. This resulted in loss of a third of MRI capacity directly impacting patient pathways in regards to diagnosis and treatment. There are no other mobile 3Ts available in the country, and there was an urgent need for top of the range brand new 1.5T scanner that could utilise Deep Resolve software to increase imaging out puts to almost 3T level. 3T imaging is vital to MSK and sarcoma patients diagnosis and outcomes.<br/><br/>No conflicts of interest were noted.
