The National Health Service Commissioning Board (which uses the operational name "NHS England") has established a framework (the "Framework Agreement")from which NHS England and other NHS bodies (Clinical Commissioning Groups ("CCGs"), NHS Trusts and NHS Foundation Trusts (each a "Contracting Authority" and together the "Contracting Authorities")) have the ability to award contracts or sub-contracts for a range of clinical services to be provided from community diagnostic hubs (the "Services"). Please note, the name has changed from "Community Diagnostic Hubs". These will be known as "Community Diagnostic Centres" going forward. The framework is divided into a number of clinical diagnostic modalities and sub-modalities. Successful providers onto the framework (a "Provider" and "Providers") have, during the procurement process and potentially during the term of the framework, identify those modalities and sub-modalities which they are capable of providing in identified locations. A Framework Agreement has been entered into by NHS England on behalf of all Contracting Authorities with each successful Provider assessed as capable of providing such Services (or any of them) through this procurement process The term of each Framework Agreement awarded pursuant to this procurement is for [3] years with an option to extend for a further [24 month period] (the "Term"). However (as permitted pursuant to Regulation 74(7)), it is anticipated (but not guaranteed) that the Framework will: • be opened to new potential Providers every 12 months within the Term (in which case new Framework Agreements awarded shall be for the remaining length of the original Term only); and • be opened or "refreshed" at any time during the Term to allow new and existing Providers to apply for new modalities or sub-modalities relating to the Services. A total of 57 of the 87 bidders were successful in this procurement process. However, only 52 have had contracts fully signed at this point and therefore another 5 providers are due to be part of this Framework. Details of these 5 providers will be published if and when these contracts are fully signed. Providers on this framework are not guaranteed to receive any amount of work whilst this framework is live.

NHS Nottingham & Nottingham ICB are seeking suitably qualified organisations to provide a local, direct access non-obstetric ultrasound service with staff qualified to appropriate levels of skill and experience, using ultrasound equipment which complies with the guidance set by the Royal College of Radiologists, connection to NHS image transfer solutions, the ability to integrate with e-Referral system, robust performance management systems and stringent levels of clinical governance and compliance with CQC essential standards. The care pathway being commissioned is pre-appointment communication with Patients, the diagnostic investigation and a report being sent to the referrer, which covers not only the description of the investigation and the findings, but also where appropriate covers any recommendations for further imaging or investigation and advice on management. Structured reporting will be required to support local referrers in their options for further clinical management. The services will need to be fully quality assured, validated and supported by the local Commissioners. The Provider must aim to provide an excellent Patient experience during all parts of the process - to include the examination and the administrative services. In order to measure this, Providers should have in place robust mechanisms for collecting Patient feedback using approaches that reflect the diverse nature of their Patient population. This should include as a minimum, a Patient satisfaction survey, and one real time feedback mechanism. There must be a sound process for receiving and dealing with suggestions, compliments and complaints. The aim of the service is to aid early diagnostics and avoid the need for unnecessary referral to secondary care, or to support the shift of activity into a primary care setting, where this will improve access. Where there are clear secondary care clinical pathways with ultrasound as a core component, it is more appropriate for this diagnostic to be undertaken as an integral part of the clinical pathway. The provider will be expected to perform Services across the geography of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB Footprint. Bidders should note this is a 2 year and 9 month initial term contract with an option to extend the service for up to a further 24 months as required, whilst a review of diagnostics is undertaken, which may lead to a change of service. The contract is let on a zero value, zero volume basis and activity is not guaranteed. From April 2022, NHS Nottingham & Nottinghamshire CCG became NHS Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board which is the new Contracting Authority
