Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire Coroners contract, titled "Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B awards", falls under the services industry category with a focus on pathology services. It is managed by Cambridgeshire County Council, a regional authority located in Huntingdon, UKH12. This procurement has reached the 'Award' stage as of 4th November 2025. The process utilised a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, which falls outside the Public Contract Regulations 2015. Contracting covers an initial period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, and services were awarded directly to existing providers, including several small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based in Cambridge, UKH12.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses in the medical and healthcare sectors, particularly those specialising in pathology services, to secure contracts with public authorities such as the Cambridgeshire County Council. Given the direct award nature and focus on existing providers, it is particularly advantageous for SMEs that have established a record of delivering such services effectively. Businesses capable of enhancing service quality and demonstrating patient-centric care over price competitiveness may find incentives to explore collaboration opportunities within such frameworks. The successful suppliers, like Dr K Allinson, CTPath Ltd, and others engaged, demonstrate the council's commitment to leveraging local expertise for public service delivery.
