Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, pertains to the provision of archive storage services specifically for cellular pathology. The tender falls under the 'selective' procurement method as a direct award under the NHS Supply Chain's Lab Diagnostics POCT & Managed Services National Framework. This process fits within the services industry category, with activities located in England, United Kingdom. The contract commenced on 1st July 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th June 2027. The contract was awarded to Cellpath Limited, with an advertised value of £40,616.28, as indicated by its completion status on 28th July 2026.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses within the storage and retrieval services sector to explore public sector engagements, particularly those familiar with NHS operational frameworks. While the selective procurement method indicates a limited competitive scope, such awards can offer a foothold for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to solidify their credentials within public procurement networks. Strategic participation in similar frameworks can enhance business growth by potentially paving the way for future collaborations and tender offers with other public health institutions. SMEs looking to specialize in providing storage solutions tailored for medical and scientific communities would find these opportunities particularly beneficial.
