Summary of the contracting process

Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP, based at Airedale General Hospital in Keighley, has announced an intention to award a contract for biochemistry testing services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). Hull University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust is anticipated to receive this contract through a Direct Award Process C, aiming to ensure the continued provision of immunology diagnostic tests delivered as required. The contract, valued at an estimated £30,000 and potentially extending to £45,000, covers the period from 20 February 2026 to 19 February 2027, with options to extend it for up to three additional 12-month periods. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, following an assessment that supports quality, value for money, integration, and service continuity, with representations by providers needed by 19 February 2026.

This tender offers business growth opportunities predominantly to pathology service providers, particularly those specialised in immunology diagnostic tests. The limited procurement method indicates no competitive tender, favouring entities like Hull University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust that have proven capabilities in delivering consistent service quality. Businesses holding the requisite skills and looking to maintain or expand local healthcare services around the Yorkshire and Humber region might find this contract beneficial, provided they meet the procurement criteria set by Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP and adhere to PSR regulations. Small to medium-sized enterprises already involved in NHS service provision and seeking to leverage direct award contracts could be especially well-suited to fulfil this need.
