Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has recently modified a contract for the insourcing of cellular pathology services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations. The procurement falls under the services category, particularly pathology services with CPV code 85111800, and involves an extension from 1st March 2026 to 31st March 2026. The contract, originally signed through a direct award method without a prior call for competition, is valued at £161,000 GBP with an additional £20,000 expected for the extension. This modification was necessary due to the urgent circumstances outlined in the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, and applies specifically within the region of UKH15.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in health services. Companies engaged in pathology services and looking to expand their operational footprint in the healthcare sector can benefit significantly. The contract is designed to address an immediate institutional need, providing an advantageous position for businesses capable of delivering specialised pathology services promptly. The procurement process itself limits competition by employing direct awards, offering a streamlined entry for capable suppliers with a focus on urgent and precise healthcare service needs.
