Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust · NHS and health

In brief

It is a framework worth up to £45,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 February 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 12 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £45,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The proposed Framework will provide access to specialist teleradiology, radiology workflow management, telepathology, teledermatology, telemicrobiology and teleophthalmology services, reflecting the growing role of digital technologies in supporting healthcare delivery. Each service area will be established as a separate lot, enabling NHS organisations in Scotland and Northern Ireland to procure services in accordance with their specific clinical requirements and service needs.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
