Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a subcontracted HPV screening and analysis service from Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The work covers collection and analysis of cervical screening samples from GP practices in the East of England that are local to Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. It is a specialist medical laboratory service, classified under CPV 85145000. Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buying organisation, while Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is the selected service provider. The requirement is intended to support cervical screening activity, with the provider undertaking sample collection and laboratory analysis. Delivery is associated with Frimley and the local East of England GP practice network.

This procurement has reached completion: the buyer recorded an award to Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The lot is marked cancelled, but two active award and contract records are present. One contract is recorded at £146,009.96, and a separate contract is recorded at £159,378.77; figures are not combined. Both contracts were signed on 1 July 2026. The stated contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. The lot description says the arrangement is cost-and-volume and refers to a possible further year, while the structured record states that options are not used. The award criterion was price, with one bid recorded.

This requirement indicates demand for an integrated cervical screening support service combining collection of screening samples from GP practices with HPV laboratory analysis. A credible future competitor would therefore need medical laboratory capability, suitable processes for receiving, identifying and handling cervical samples, and the operational capacity to coordinate collection across a GP practice network. Experience delivering screening or related diagnostic laboratory services would help demonstrate that samples can be managed reliably from collection through analysis and reporting. Suppliers would also need to understand NHS clinical pathways and quality expectations, and to provide a service capable of handling variable activity under a cost-and-volume arrangement. The selected provider was an NHS foundation trust, suggesting that established healthcare infrastructure and public-sector delivery experience are relevant.
