Authority: Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionStockport NHS Foundation Trust has been awarded this contract as the existing provider has consistently delivered the ECG Interpretation service to a high standard, fully meeting contractual requirements and demonstrating reliable performance across quality, timeliness, clinical governance and reporting accuracy. The proposed contracting arrangements remain materially unchanged from the current service model, and continuation with the incumbent provider ensures stability, continuity and avoidance of disruption to diagnostic pathways. The Trust has evidenced sufficient technical capability, workforce competence and organisational capacity to continue delivering the service in line with PSR key criteria and basic selection criteria. On this basis, and given the absence of any requirement to undertake Direct Award A or B, the provider is assessed as the most appropriate organisation to deliver the service for the forthcoming contract term.
