Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for clinical and non-clinical services titled "KGH-NHFT Clinical and Non-Clinical Services 2024-26" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement, classified under pathology services, is based in Kettering General Hospital, NN16 8UZ, UKF25. The contract, valued at £1,664,983, commenced on 1 April 2024 and will conclude on 31 March 2026. The procurement method was a direct award without prior competition due to the lack of realistic alternatives and the nature of the services provided. The contract award was confirmed by the Collaborative Commissioning and Contract Group on 10 March 2025, with no conflicts of interest identified.

This award through the Provider Selection Regime represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and ancillary services to align their offerings with market leaders like Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Given the reliance on highly specific and non-substitutable services, businesses with expertise in pathology services and healthcare provisioning will find this contract to be a unique niche market. Although patient choice is limited, the successful execution and maintenance of this contract can enhance reputation, stability, and may provide platforms for future collaborations with major NHS bodies.

Procurement Information

There is an existing service. There is no realistic alternative to the existing provider due to the nature of the health care services. Direct Award B would not apply, as patients do not have a choice of provider. Due to the nature of the health care services, patients are typically placed based on bed availability and clinical presentation, therefore there are limitations to patient choice.
