Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process pertains to the supply of Cellular Pathology Staining services for the Northern Health and Social Care Trust (NHSCT) and Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT) in the UK, classified under Diagnostic systems (CPV code: 33124110). It is overseen by the Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service based in Belfast, UK, and currently, the process is in the Award stage. The contract, valued at £10,100,000, is active and spans from 14th March 2016 to 13th March 2026 with a recent amendment extending the period to 13th March 2027 due to delays in a regional renewal tender. The procurement method reflects a goods category and the opportunity was awarded to Roche Diagnostics Ltd. Key stakeholders and business users should note that this contract allows further extensions to accommodate delays, ensuring continuity of essential diagnostic services for healthcare facilities in Northern Ireland.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in diagnostic and cellular pathology technologies, particularly those with large-scale production capabilities. Companies like Roche Diagnostics Ltd, which has been involved in the current contract, can enhance their market presence by securing such prestigious contracts. The extension due to tender delays suggests potential for future competitive bidding processes within the NHS framework, promoting growth among suppliers adept in navigating complex procurement scenarios. Businesses with expertise in medical diagnostics systems and who are able to deliver comprehensive services aligned with stringent healthcare standards may find numerous opportunities for expansion and collaboration with local trusts and healthcare organisations.
