Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust has completed a contracting process for the provision of pathology diagnostics services, specifically focusing on pathology services. This urgent award, assessed under the ‘services’ category, has been concluded without a prior call for competition due to it falling outside the directive's normal scope. The procurement method implemented was limited, and the contract has been awarded to South West London Pathology at St George’s University Hospital. The procurement stage is noted as 'complete', with the contract actively signed on 31st March 2025, valued at £50,000. The services are to be provided in the region coded as UKI33, covering the locality of London.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in diagnostic healthcare services, particularly those specialising in pathology. It showcases an ideal opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like the awarded supplier, South West London Pathology, to establish or strengthen their service offerings to regional healthcare bodies. The ongoing demand for comprehensive diagnostic services within NHS frameworks indicates substantial growth potential for businesses capable of delivering high-quality pathology solutions efficiently. Businesses looking to enter similar contracts should have a focus on developing expertise in urgent and routine pathology diagnostics, preparing them for future procurement opportunities from healthcare authorities.
