The buying organisation is Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Norwich, East of England, with a focus on pathology services. This contract is valued at approximately £5.42 million and follows a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract began on 1st February 2026 and will conclude on 31st January 2033.
