Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust has announced an award for the procurement of an outsourced histopathology service for the period 2024-2025. This service falls under the CPV classification code 85111100, related to surgical hospital services, within the services procurement category. The contract, originally scheduled to commence in February 2025 with a duration of six months and an estimated value of £472,000, was awarded via an urgent process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement location is the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly region (UKK30). Unfortunately, this particular awarding of the contract was unsuccessful, and no conflicts of interest were declared.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in surgical and hospital services, particularly those with a presence or capability to deliver in the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly region. Given the estimated contract value and the urgency of the award, companies with expedited service provision, established expertise in histopathology, and the ability to meet stringent healthcare regulatory requirements are well-suited to compete. This could foster business growth by establishing or reinforcing relationships with the NHS Trust, providing valuable services in the healthcare sector, and demonstrating capacity for rapid, high-quality delivery under urgent procurement methods.
