Summary of the contracting process

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for the provision of managed pathology services, culminating in the award of a contract. This procurement, classified under CPV code 85111800 for pathology services, was conducted via a competitive process per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at £20,222,523, will commence on 1st November 2025 and extends until 31st October 2036, with options to extend by two years and then a further one year. The awarded contract requires a single supplier to operate an on-site pathology laboratory with additional offsite testing capabilities, covering services across various pathology disciplines, and providing 24/7 service at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, UKI74 region, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for substantial business growth, especially for pathology service providers capable of offering comprehensive end-to-end outsourced services. It demands a high level of integration, collaboration, and innovative quality solutions, considering its stringent criteria such as social value, quality, and sustainability. The scope of services includes microbiology, virology, immunology, clinical chemistry, haematology, and blood transfusion, necessitating a reliable provider with robust operational capability on a continuous basis. Supplier outreach is specifically targeted through a limited procurement method without prior publication, ensuring the selection of a specialised and qualified supplier, which in this instance, is HSL Pathology LLP. This opportunity is highly suitable for SMEs with experience in extensive pathology service management, particularly those familiar with the integration of electronic patient records (EPR) within NHS frameworks.
