Notice Information
Notice Title
Anatomical Pathology Automation
Notice Description
This Framework provides access to laboratory automation equipment for anatomical pathology across five lots: tissue embedding, block facing, slide preparation, storage systems, and block transportation.
Lot Information
Automated Tissue Embedding Systems
Provision of a system that is able to automate the process of embedding tissue specimens in paraffin to create tissue blocks and all associated services.
Tissue Block Facing SystemsProvision of a system that is able to provide automated facing of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks and all associated services.
Automated Slide Preparation SystemsProvision of a system that is able to automate the process of sectioning paraffin blocks and mounting tissue sections onto glass slides and all associated services.
Storage and Archiving Systems (for both blocks and slides)Provision of a system that is able to provide organised storage and retrieval of histological specimens, including both FFPE tissue blocks and microscope slides and all associated services.
Block Transportation SystemsProvision of a system that is able to automate the transport of FFPE blocks between laboratory workstations including embedding, microtomy, and storage areas and all associated services.
Aggregated LotAggregation of Lot option (1-5) is designed to accommodate suppliers who can offer more than one lot service provision, combining them under a single agreement. This approach ensures that the Participating Authorities have access to a variety of services either from a single supplier or a cooperative of suppliers, enhancing the convenience and adapting a solution to their needs.

"noEngagementNoticeRationale": "Market engagement was undertaken, though a pre-market engagement notice was not issued due to prior notices already covering the scope. Under the Pathology Solutions Prior Information Notice (PIN) (OCID: ocds-h6vhtk-0468c3), 20 suppliers were consulted across two lots via Teams meetings. For Slide Storage, a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) notice was published, and discussions with 5 suppliers identified an urgent need for a procurement route focused on specialised storage and archiving for blocks and slides. This requirement aligns more effectively with the Anatomical Pathology Automation Framework, offering a streamlined approach for customer engagement. HTE considers the elapsed engagement period sufficient to confirm market readiness."
