Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust involves the award for a "Pathology Managed Service for Midlands & East 2 Network". This service, classified under the industry category of pathology services (CPV: 85111800), covers various NHS Trusts in the region, including those in Derby, Burton, Chesterfield, Leicester, and Nottingham. The procurement follows a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award stage has been completed, with the contract beginning on 4th June 2026 and extending until 4th June 2038. This significant project has an estimated value of £58 million and is located in Grimsby, England, with a postal code of DN33 2BA.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for large-scale pathology and diagnostic service providers capable of supporting NHS networks. The framework-based procurement method highlights the pre-selection of qualified suppliers, potentially enabling faster turnaround times for businesses within this framework. Companies looking to expand in the healthcare diagnostics sector stand to benefit enormously, particularly those that can deliver consistent, high-volume services over long periods. Additionally, small and medium enterprises could find opportunities as sub-contractors or service partners, complementing the services of larger providers like Roche Diagnostics Ltd, the awarded supplier. Businesses with innovative solutions in laboratory diagnostics and efficiency will find this a promising avenue for engagement with the NHS infrastructure.
