Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust is leading a procurement process titled "Hertfordshire and West Essex STP Transformation of Pathology Services" aimed at enhancing pathology services across several contracting authorities, including West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, and various Clinical Commissioning Groups. This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline of 30th June 2020. The contracting process, which falls under the "light touch regime" of public contracts regulations, anticipates a total contract value of £500 million, and services are expected to be delivered within the East of England region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in pathology services, particularly those equipped to provide extensive offerings such as Blood Sciences, Immunology, and Cellular Pathology. Businesses that are experienced in delivering large-scale healthcare solutions, including those capable of operating within NHS frameworks, would be well-positioned to compete. Potential bidders should consider that while all contracting authorities may not award contracts, only one supplier will be selected for the provision of services, which may need to be delivered from within the UK.
