Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is planning a direct award for the Perinatal Bereavement Pathology Testing services, facilitated by the PSR Direct award C process. This procurement, categorised under pathology services, is specifically designed for sensitivities around perinatal bereavement, including autopsies for foetuses and newborns. The decision stems from an existing service-level agreement (SLA) with Newcastle Upon Tyne Trust, deemed most suitable due to geographic proximity and existing positive outcomes. The service period is set to commence from 31st March 2025 for a duration of three years, primarily delivered at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those approved for providing sensitive pathology services. It is ideally suited for organisations capable of delivering high-standard pathology services under established service-level agreements. Businesses with a focus on healthcare, especially within the regional landscape of Newcastle and Middlesbrough, stand a favourable chance due to the strategic location and streamlined service delivery processes aimed at enhancing patient outcomes.
