    Brief

    The trust is seeking a 4-month contract extension for ultrasound insourcing services to support continued diagnostic imaging delivery. This extension is critical due to multiple operational challenges: the ultrasound service currently operates with a 25% sonographer vacancy rate due to national workforce shortages, demand continues to grow significantly, and the service is experiencing reduced diagnostic capacity during equipment replacement. Two aging ultrasound scanners are being replaced following capital approval, and the interim period of reduced equipment availability has created service backlogs. Prospective service providers should be prepared to support high-volume ultrasound diagnostics, assist with backlog recovery, and demonstrate flexibility in workforce management during this transition period. The contract aims to maintain DM01 compliance and ensure continuity of care during this temporary operational constraint.
