Description of the procurement

The objective of Framework Agreement is to: support the Contracting Authorities’ ability to improve population health: increase diagnostic capacity: improve productivity and efficiency of diagnostic activity, contribute to reducing health inequalities, deliver a better and more personalised diagnostic experience for patients and support integration of care.
The framework is divided into a number of clinical diagnostic modalities and sub-modalities. Successful providers onto the framework (a “Provider” and “Providers”) have, during the procurement process and potentially during the term of the framework, identify those modalities and sub-modalities which they are capable of providing in identified locations. A Framework Agreement has been entered into by NHS England on behalf of all Contracting Authorities with each successful Provider assessed as capable of providing such Services (or any of them) through this procurement process The term of each Framework Agreement awarded pursuant to this procurement is for [3] years with an option to extend for a further [24 month period] (the “Term”).
However (as permitted pursuant to Regulation 74(7)), it is anticipated (but not guaranteed) that the Framework will:
• be opened to new potential Providers every 12 months within the Term (in which case new Framework Agreements awarded shall be for the remaining length of the original Term only); and
• be opened or “refreshed” at any time during the Term to allow new and existing Providers to apply for new modalities or sub-modalities relating to the Services.
When awarding contracts pursuant to the framework it will be for Contracting Authorities to determine which modalities or sub-modalities they wish to purchase based on local need and award will be permitted on the basis of either criteria set out in the Framework Agreement or further competition among those on the Framework.
Contracts called off from the Framework from Contracting Authorities shall be based upon the NHS Standard Contract or Sub-Contract at National and Local NHS Prices and discounts may be offered.

Additional information

This Procurement is on behalf of the National Health Service, namely NHS England, all Clinical Commissioning Groups, NHS Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts and each of their successor bodies. A list of organisations can be found at:

(Referred to from IV.1.11) - The services in scope of this procurement process are healthcare services which fall under “social and other specific services” in Section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR”). In accordance with Regulation 76 PCR, the process is to set up a closely mirror a framework agreement and the procurement of it will follow a procedure like the open procedure. However, NHS England and the Contracting Authorities using the framework are only bound by the parts of the PCR that specifically apply to social and other specific services. For the avoidance of doubt, the rules that apply to the open procedure under Regulation 27 and framework agreements under Regulation 33 do not apply to this procurement. All providers that met the minimum requirements set out under the procurement process (which included both traditional selection and evaluation criteria on a pass/fail basis) have been appointed to the framework agreement.
The tender was run through the EU Supply portal. A total of 57 of the 87 bidders were successful in this procurement process. However, only 52 have had contracts fully signed at this point and therefore another 5 providers are due to be part of this Framework. Details of these 5 providers will be published if and when these contracts are fully signed. Providers on this framework are not guaranteed to receive any amount of work whilst this framework is live.
