Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score tests, a clinically validated multigene assay used to predict the likely benefit of chemotherapy for the relevant patient group. The requirement is for the test product rather than general pathology services, despite the broader pathology classification. The stated scope is the Breast Recurrence Score test; no patient volumes or further breakdown of test components are set out. Delivery is described as covering the United Kingdom and a range of overseas locations, with Leeds also identified as a delivery address. The procurement was made by the Trust, based in Leeds.

The procurement is complete and Exact Sciences UK Ltd was selected. The award is recorded at £337,500, against an estimated procurement range of £337,500 to £405,000. The award date is 26 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The process used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The data contains two award entries naming the same supplier, with the same value and contract period; these are not separate awards for the purposes of calculating a total. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated.

This award demonstrates demand at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for a specialist breast cancer recurrence score test used to inform predictions about chemotherapy benefit. A supplier seeking to serve a comparable requirement would need to provide the clinically validated Oncotype DX assay and support its use for the relevant patient population. The procurement description says the assay is uniquely available from the current supplier on the global market, and the selected supplier was Exact Sciences UK Ltd. That makes control of, or authorised access to, this specific test a central commercial consideration; general pathology testing capability alone would not establish an equivalent offer. The award indicates a focused requirement rather than broad laboratory services.
