Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an MRI vendor who independently or with a third party would be prepared to fund and provide an Intra-Operative MRI scanner, operating theatre and other relevant ancillary equipment, on the basis that the funding agreement is off-balance sheet for the Trust i.e. the funding model proposed will not trigger IFRS 16 accounting treatment.
MRI vendors are invited to submit proposals which they feel are consistent with this requirement. The Trust does not however set out the terms upon which off-balance sheet solutions should be proposed.
The contract period will be for no longer than 364 days, inclusive of any notice period.
