Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process overseen by Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust involves the purchase of Oncotype DX tests, with the contracting authority located in Gateshead, UK. The procurement falls under the clinical products category (CPV: 33698000) and is conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was awarded on 1 April 2025, with a contract value of £391,500 excluding VAT, covering a period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027. This award was made to Exact Sciences, in a process that targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing them with the opportunity despite the non-involvement of voluntary community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for SMEs specializing in clinical products, especially those with an interest in diagnostics and pathology services. Businesses equipped with capabilities in laboratory diagnostics and point-of-care testing will find significant potential in further engaging with similar public health contracts. The location of the work in Gateshead also makes it strategically advantageous for local suppliers in England looking to expand their footprint, particularly those involved in healthcare goods and services. Participation in such framework agreements can position companies for repeated engagement with NHS trusts, fostering long-term business relationships.
