The procurement is related to biochemistry referral tests and follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The location for this provision is in the UK, specifically Gateshead, and the contract, valued at £30,000, extends from 3rd June 2025 to 31st March 2028. This process employs a direct award method under process C, without prior publication of a call for competition. Key dates include the contract signing on 3rd June 2025, marking the transition from intention to award to contract award notice.

This tender offers an excellent opportunity for businesses operating in the medical laboratory services sector, particularly those with experience in biochemistry testing. The direct award nature suggests the contract is suitable for firms with a proven track record in fulfilling similar contracts to a high standard, such as those with UKAS accreditation or corresponding validation. Larger businesses, like Imperial College Projects Ltd., which has been named as the intended supplier, might find this opportunity particularly fitting given the scale and specific requirements such as analytical methodology compatibility and provision of clinical advice.
