Summary of the contracting process

Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP is set to award a contract for referred biochemistry and haematology tests, categorised under 'Pathology services', using the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) with Direct Award Process C. The contracting process is managed by decision-makers Afruj Ruf and Rebecca Parish, ensuring no conflicts of interest were identified. This contract is valued at £3,000 and will span from 21st February 2026 to 20th February 2027, with options to extend for two additional periods of 12 months each. The buying organisation, Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP, operates from Airedale General Hospital, Keighley, promoting continued diagnostic service delivery without significant changes to the existing scope. The procurement method is limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, and representations by providers must be made by 20th February 2026.

With the intent to award to North West London Pathology, businesses that can ensure the continuity and quality of pathology services are well-suited to thrive in such a regulatory environment. For small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the pathology sector, this contract provides a window to reinforce supply chains and enhance service delivery efficiency.
