Summary of the contracting process

The contract process, titled "Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B awards," is conducted by Cambridgeshire County Council, a regional authority based in Huntingdon, UK. The procurement is classified under the services category, specifically focusing on pathology services. The process used a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), which did not require prior publication of a call for competition, and thus falls outside the scope of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The procurement stage is in the award and contract phase, with contracts signed on 1st April 2026 and 14th May 2026. Services will be provided in regions UKH11 and UKH12, covering specialist medical services. This direct award was carried out without options or further competitive bidding.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in medical services, particularly those offering pathology and medical specialist expertise. With providers like Fenland Pathology Services Ltd from Peterborough and Surgical Jurisprudence Ltd from Leeds successfully awarded contracts, businesses in these sectors can consider scaling operations to compete for similar contracts. The direct award nature of the process allows businesses already specialising in relevant fields to secure steady service contracts with regional authorities like Cambridgeshire County Council, fostering growth and increased regional presence without the need for extensive bidding procedures.
