The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has successfully concluded a procurement process for a contract titled "Sexual Health Pathology - Comprehensive diagnostic microbiology service including clinical advice." The procurement falls under the category of pathology services and is specifically related to sexual health. This contract, which covers a comprehensive diagnostic and clinical advice service, will run from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2033, including options for extension. The procurement method used was a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the contract has been valued at approximately £13,526,400.
