Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is managing a procurement process for Clinical Immunology Services, with services provided by the University of Birmingham. This procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory services and is specifically located in Birmingham. The process follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, not the Procurement Act 2023. The contract, valued at approximately £281,478, commenced on 17th April 2026 and is due to conclude on 16th April 2027. A standstill period began on 20th April 2026, during which representations by providers must be submitted. The procurement method is limited and was awarded without a prior call for competition, reflecting the rationale that the process was outside the traditional scope of competition directives.

This contract presents significant opportunities for institutions engaged in or looking to expand into the clinical immunology and laboratory services sectors. The assessment criteria, which included Quality and Innovation, Value, and Social Value, indicate that successful bidders likely possess advanced technical capabilities and a commitment to collaborative service sustainability and improving access. Large institutions with strong existing capabilities in clinical services and a focus on integrating innovative solutions into healthcare systems would find this an attractive opportunity to establish or expand their presence in the healthcare service supply chain. The University of Birmingham, as the supplier, highlights the importance of academic and research affiliations in successfully passing the rigorous selection criteria.
