Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has concluded the procurement process for the provision of STI Screening services, identified under the industry classification "Health and social work services" (CPV code: 85000000). The procurement method employed was selective, operating via a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. This contract, valued at £2,400,000, covers the East Midlands region, precisely Nottinghamshire. The relevant contract period spans from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2027. The tender process has reached the award stage, with Preventx Limited being the awarded supplier. Key timelines included a tender period ending on 29th September 2024, with the award being published on 15th July 2026.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in health and social services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised screening services. Although Preventx Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), has secured the contract, other businesses in the same sector might consider preparing for future opportunities or similar tenders, as the reliance on dynamic purchasing systems suggests regular procurement cycles. Companies interested in public health, particularly in diagnostics and preventive care, are well-suited to pursue such contracts to expand their market presence within the NHS framework.
