Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, spearheaded by Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP, involves the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for a contract related to biochemistry testing services, classified under pathology services. This contract aims to provide referral services for biochemistry diagnostic tests at Airedale General Hospital, Steeton (region UKE41), from 21 February 2026 to 20 February 2027, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. The procurement method employed is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as the service provision falls outside the scope of the directive described in the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with key award decision-makers including Afruj Ruf and Rebecca Parish. Interested parties must submit representations by 20 February 2026.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in pathology services and biochemistry diagnostics. It is particularly suited to large healthcare providers, such as Northern Care Alliance NHS FT, who can deliver high-quality service consistently. The intent to award notice signals a preference for existing suppliers who adhere to high standards, thereby reducing competition but ensuring continuity of service. Advanced diagnostic firms positioned in or near Yorkshire would find location advantages, while practices with strong capabilities in referrals and testing services are well-suited to compete within the outlined service framework.
