Summary of the contracting process

The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Swindon, has completed a procurement process titled "Supply of Histology Consumables and Waste Removal," under the industry category of goods. The procurement, managed directly and below threshold without competition, culminated in a contract award on 23rd December 2025. The contract involves the supply of histology reagents and the removal of chemical waste from the Pathology Laboratory. The contract is set to commence on 12th January 2026 and will end on 8th January 2027. The procurement exercise adhered to the legal basis outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This contract presents a business growth opportunity, particularly for suppliers dealing in chemical reagents and waste management. As the procurement method was direct and lacked competition, entities specialising in providing bespoke chemical products, like those classified under CPV codes for chemical reagents and related products, are well-positioned to engage. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in efficient supply chain operations and waste management processes can leverage such opportunities to expand their footprint within the healthcare sector, given the focused requirements of the NHS Foundation Trust.
