Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire County Council recently completed the procurement process for 'Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B awards'. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on pathology services (CPV code: 85111800). The procurement method utilised was a 'limited' type through a direct award process known as Provider Selection Regime (PSR) B, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contracts, awarded as of 1st April 2025, last from April 2025 to March 2026, with services to be delivered in regions UKH11 and UKH12. The key procuring authority, Cambridgeshire County Council, is based in Huntingdon, UK, and operates as a regional or local authority.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the pathology and healthcare services sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised services to coroners. Companies like TJS Radiology Limited and individual practitioners like Dr. R Wellings successfully competed, securing individual contracts to support the coroner services in Cambridgeshire. SMEs in the same field can look to such contracts as a means to expand their reach and grow their business within the public sector, benefiting from the stability and regularity offered by such governmental contracts. The focus on quality over price in the award criteria underscores the importance of maintaining high standards in service provision.
