UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Vitamin D Testing" was conducted by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority within the central government sector. This award relates to a services category specifically within the medical laboratories industry, under the CPV code 85145000, and was completed with the supplier Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The project is located in Birmingham, UK, and the contract period extends from 13th September 2025 to 12th September 2026. The procurement process followed a direct method, classified as below threshold, and was completed without competition. Key contacts and details can still be accessed through official channels as needed, given the process is now in the award and contract stage as of the last update on 31st October 2025.

This contract offers opportunities for businesses specialising in medical laboratory services and particularly those focused on the implementation of CDC reference method values. Although the procurement was completed using a direct awarding process, future opportunities may exist for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide specific validation services or innovate within the healthcare testing industry. Building strategic partnerships, particularly with large-scale organisations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, could also be advantageous, as such alignments often lead to further collaborative opportunities in the healthcare services sector.
