What is being bought

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of the West Midlands Imaging Network intends to procure a Converged Digital Imaging Platform (CDIP) across up to 15 NHS Trusts within the West Midlands Region. This modern, future-proof solution will replace the independently procured systems currently used by each trust, including Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and Radiology Information Systems (RIS), with a centralised digital platform. Scope and Key Objectives Unified Digital Solution: CDIP will deliver a single platform to meet the digital needs of imaging departments across all 15 trusts, supporting clinical imaging, radiology services, and the potential for future incorporation of other specialities (e.g., pathology, cardiology). Some trusts already have incorporated other (non-radiology) specialities (e.g. clinical photography) into their imaging archive. CDIP will replicate this wherever such an ecosystem exists. Enhanced Functionality: In addition to PACS and RIS features, the platform will offer advanced capabilities to automate workflows, improve cross-site image and related-data (including reports) sharing, reporting, and scheduling, and enable network-wide business intelligence. Flexible Ecosystem: The CDIP will be designed to meet WMIN’s functional and operational requirements, allowing flexibility for locally defined workflows tailored to specific specialities or modalities. The platform will also support AI integration and research through its connection with the West Midlands Trusted Research Environment (TRE).

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Medical software package (48180000); 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 486,8371 median · 9.6 average (2,488 of 6,837 with a bid count)1.8 average (2,928 of 6,837 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.
