Lot details

Lot 1

a contract has been awarded to Health Now Ltd for the provision of echocardiogram insourcing services. The registered office of Health Now Ltd is located at 3 Lower Thames Street, St. Magnus House, London, EC3R HD.<br/>This contract was awarded on an urgent basis under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The Trust is commissioned to deliver echocardiogram services across Mid and South Essex. However, staffing challenges, including the loss of four qualified echocardiographers since April, have created a significant capacity shortfall, particularly at Broomfield Hospital, where waiting lists currently exceed 13 weeks. The delay in patients receiving echocardiograms poses a clinical risk that required immediate action.<br/>Due to the urgency of the situation, the Trust did not have sufficient time to conduct a competitive procurement process. Instead, the award was made using the SBS Framework for Insourcing of Clinical Support Services, which is compliant with PSR regulations. This short-term contract, designed to address the backlog, commenced on October 12, 2024, and will expire on January 11, 2025.<br/>We can confirm that no conflict of interest was identified among the individuals involved in the urgent award decision. This solution ensures that we can continue to deliver critical care to our patients while addressing current capacity challenges.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8538,3711 median · 19.7 average (22,929 of 38,371 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,590 of 38,371 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UKH33731 median · 14.6 average (213 of 373 with a bid count)2.8 average (241 of 373 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
