Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the buying organisation Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP, which is planning to award a contract for pathology services specifically related to referred biochemistry and haematology tests in the UKE41 region, including Sheffield and Keighley. This procurement is part of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is at the award stage with a contract value of £24,000 for the period from 3rd March 2026 to 2nd March 2027, with an option to extend for up to two additional 12-month periods. The procedure followed is a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The standstill period for representations is until 2nd March 2026. The selection was based on several criteria, including quality, value, and integration, with considerations for inequalities and access, leading to a direct award process C, choosing the existing provider Sheffield Children's Hospital as the supplier due to their satisfactory performance.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the pathology services industry to observe the outcomes and potentially position themselves for future opportunities within the Provider Selection Regime framework. As the contract is awarded based on satisfactory prior performance by the existing supplier, it may serve as a strategic goal for well-established health service providers who can consistently meet high standards in service delivery. While new entrants might find it challenging to enter this specific process, the extension possibilities could allow for future competitive procurement opportunities, encouraging businesses to maintain a high standard of service and readiness to participate when such opportunities arise.
