Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire County Council has completed the procurement process titled "Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B awards" within the industry category of pathology services. The contracting process followed a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime, concluding with active contracts signed on 1 April 2026. The procurement method was limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition as the project fell outside the directive's application. The services will be delivered in the regions of UKH11 and UKH12 from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the Council serving as both the buyer and review body.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in pathology services that can operate within specific regional constraints. Although the procurement used a direct award process, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as those represented by existing suppliers like Dr M Goddard, Dr J Grant, Dr N Patel, and Dr S Preston, are ideal candidates. The focus on service quality, as indicated by the award criteria, positions businesses excelling in patient-focused care and efficient pathology practices as strong contenders for future similar procurement opportunities.
