Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured Seegene advanced molecular diagnostic testing reagents for clinical diagnostic testing. This is a goods purchase of diagnostic supplies, delivered to the Trust in the North East of England. The named requirement is for Seegene kits and reagents rather than a broader diagnostic service.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to MAST Group Limited on 21 September 2026 for £49,050. The contract period runs from 22 September to 13 October 2026. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information does not describe a scored evaluation basis or identify lots; the requirement is presented as a single purchase.

This award shows demand from Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for Seegene molecular diagnostic kits and associated testing reagents through a framework call-off. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to supply the specified Seegene products, support clinical diagnostic testing, and be able to fulfil a focused NHS requirement through the relevant framework route. The selected supplier, MAST Group Limited, is recorded as a large business, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers should therefore assess whether they have the product access, framework position and delivery capability to compete at this scale.
