Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South West - Acutes is seeking to provide a Tumour Profiling Test, as outlined in their recent procurement process. The procurement, classified under the goods category with a focus on diagnostic supplies, has been designated as complete. The direct award was granted to Exact Sciences UK Ltd for the Oncotype DX test, a decision made due to the specialist expertise required and limited availability of the product under the framework contract. The award was officially signed on 17 March 2022, with a contract value of £121,500. The delivery is set for Torbay Hospital in the region of Torquay, UK.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in diagnostic supplies and related health technologies. Companies specialising in diagnostic innovations or those that align with NHS guidelines for cancer treatment may find this a valuable avenue for expansion. As the procurement was conducted directly without prior publication of a call for competition, businesses equipped to meet specific healthcare standards and deliver specialised products are better positioned to compete in similar future contracts.
