UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the UKAS inspection, under contract ID 013689-2026. This process falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services. The contract was awarded to UKAS, a large supplier, with services to be delivered in the UKH12 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is noted as both "award" and "contract," indicating that the tender has been awarded and the contract is in place, active from 16th February 2026 to 15th May 2026. The total gross contract value is £53,459.57, under a below-threshold procurement method, indicating a streamlined process suitable for contracts of smaller scale.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in technical consultancy and inspection services, particularly those with expertise in UKAS certifications. Companies that can provide specialised testing and analysis services within budget constraints can leverage such opportunities to expand their public sector client base. The involvement of a central government institution like the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust highlights the potential for gaining further contracts through demonstrated capability and successful delivery of high-quality services. Smaller businesses with relevant qualifications and capability might find competitive advantage in participating in similar future tenders, thereby scaling their operations and enhancing their industry presence.
