Summary of the contracting process

The Airedale NHS Foundation Trust is planning to award a contract for WID Easy Swab Tests, which falls under the pathology services category. The procurement is taking place at Airedale General Hospital, located in the United Kingdom (region UKE41). This process is currently at the award stage under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), a regulatory framework separate from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract intention notice was published on 7th May 2026, with a standstill period ending on 19th May 2026, during which any provider representations must be submitted. The total contract value is £34,200 for the provision of 285 tests, scheduled to run from 20th May 2026 to 19th August 2026, with the possibility of extending up to two additional periods of three months each.

This procurement opportunity offers significant potential for business growth, especially for small or medium enterprises involved in healthcare diagnostics or medical services. Considering the specific nature of the services required, businesses specialising in providing non-invasive diagnostic tests for conditions like abnormal uterine bleeding or endometrial cancer will find this tender particularly suitable. The procurement method used was limited, deemed necessary as only one capable provider was identified, streamlining the selection process and fostering a direct path for suitable businesses to expand their market presence through collaboration with NHS trusts such as Airedale.
