Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, in collaboration with the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, recently completed a procurement process for the provision of reagents required for cancer services. The procurement, titled "Cancer Reagents Service," falls under the goods category and was managed through a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The procurement activity primarily spanned from 1st July 2025 to 1st December 2025, with a contract signed on 19th May 2025. Located in Birmingham, UK, the procurement aligns with the public authority central government industry classification and was conducted to support healthcare services within the Birmingham and Solihull region.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those involved in the supply of chemical reagents or similar goods. The direct procurement method indicates streamlined processes that could favour businesses capable of providing specialised products swiftly and efficiently. Suppliers like Integrated DNA Technologies, who secured the contract, highlight the potential for niche businesses to engage with and expand within the public healthcare sector. Companies in the chemical industry, especially those offering innovative solutions in medical reagents, are well-positioned to explore similar opportunities within the healthcare framework.
