Tender: Teleradiology Reporting Services for County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust

About

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a supplier to provide teleradiology reporting services across its two large acute sites and several non-acute sites serving the population of County Durham and Darlington. The Trust requires a single supplier to deliver 24/7 urgent and emergency radiology reporting plus elective reporting for modalities including MRI, CT, plain film and nuclear medicine, with limited reporting requiring specialist radiologists; there is no volume commitment and demand may vary depending on in-house reporting capacity. The appointed supplier would hold an exclusive out-of-hours contract to maintain continuity if it can meet the Trust's turnaround times, while the Trust may use other suppliers for non‑out‑of‑hours work, and suppliers must be able to scale services up or down as demand fluctuates. Bids will be evaluated under the Provider Selection Regime with weighted criteria: Quality and Innovation 20%, Improving Access/Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice 15%, Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability 15%, Value - Price 40%, and Social Value 10%.
