Lot Information
Lot 1
The original procurement completed in 2016 awarded a contract for 7 years with an option for a further extension of 3 years, which was taken by the Health Board. This contract is due to expire November 2026. The Health Board had originally planned to retender and had set timelines of a 2-year process to award and implement a new contract. Due to delays in the implementation of the replacement WLIMS system which has necessitated intensive resource and staff time to be dedicated to this project as a national priority. The required resource to undertake a tender process is not available and therefore, the Health Board has no choice but to delay the procurement of a new service. Due to the heavily regulated and sensitive nature of this service, it is not possible to change supplier without a full implementation period and therefore, the Health Board will extend the current arrangements in line with a Regulation 72 (c ) (i)modification in PCR 2015, whilst the new tender process is conducted.
