Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is a Provider Selection Regime intention to award notice managed by Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP, based out of Airedale General Hospital, Keighley. The tender, titled "CALL OFF ORDER FOR REFERRED CHEMISTRY TESTS," concerns pathology services, specifically chemistry testing for immunology diagnostic tests, under the healthcare category. The procurement is at the award stage with a contract valued at £500,000, intended to commence on 21 April 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2027, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The process utilises a limited procurement method without prior competition publication, following Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Representations must be made by 20 April 2026.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare and pathology sectors to engage with a public contract that can generate growth through substantial service provision within a defined period. While the direct award procedure limits new competitors for this specific contract, other pathology or diagnostic service providers could position themselves for future opportunities by understanding the standard requirements and maintaining high service standards similar to those outlined in this award process. Companies with capabilities in delivering referral services for immunology tests, ideally those already integrated within the NHS framework or with experience in similar settings, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
