Description

There is a immediate service requirement (festive period 2025) for a mobile community diagnostics service which delivers comprehensive mobile community diagnostics vehicle capable of supporting x-ray, ultrasounds and IVD as a single solution. The diagnostics equipment must be designed to fit into a conventional vehicle operated by one person (for LEZ and carbon zero applicability) and must be able to be deployed in the community, places of residence (including tenement flats etc) and care homes. Due to the nature turnaround times of reports must be within 1 hour for image/test acquisition. It must have an immediate all-in-one solution with connectivity with a native tele-diagnostics self-contained platform covering plain film and cross-sectional reporting and be interoperable with Board systems using HL7 standards for data exchange. Any vendor must provide full end-to-end acceptance testing with the Health Board before go-live, including validation of equipment, workflows, and connectivity. Local engineering support must be available within 120 minutes of call-out and have an equipment contingency plan delivered within 24 hours should a fault be reported. Patients must be treated and outcome reported whilst within the community setting therefore reporting required in an hour in order to ensure we complete with prescribing or additional requests before the radiographer (advanced practice) leaves the home.

Legal Justification

A Prior Information Notice was published in late August 2025 20250822-000015 (2025/S 000-051025)for the purpose of conducting pre market engagement. Following pre market engagement, the Authority has concluded a single provider can meet the scope in its entirety within the required timescales (ie December 2025) The description within this Notice provides all aspects of the scope, critically the inclusion of scan to report within one hour with the clinical justification referenced within the description of the procurement. As this service is currently embryonic in nature, there will be further opportunities for market competition at the end of calendar year 2026.
