Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the award of a contract for Cellular Pathology Referrals, issued by the Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement falls under the ‘services’ category within the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on services provided by medical laboratories (CPV: 85145000). The contract, awarded to Guy and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, covers services to be rendered from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, valued at £6,000. Officially awarded on 7th August 2025, this process followed a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime, which bypassed the standard competitive procedure. The procurement process was concluded without a prior call for competition and is regulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender creates significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical laboratory services, particularly those capable of offering specialised pathology services that align with UKAS accreditation and EQA participation. Businesses adept in providing quick turnaround times and reliable clinical interpretation would be particularly well-suited to such contracts. Moreover, collaborations that facilitate compliance with RCPath guidelines, including regional referral pathways and genomic testing, can position businesses advantageously for future public procurement opportunities within the NHS framework.
