Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement contract awarded by the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust involves the provision of histopathology pathology referred samples. Situated in Sheffield, United Kingdom, this procurement falls under the goods category, specifically pathology services and blood-testing reagents. The procurement was carried out using a direct method below the competitive threshold, bypassing conventional competition processes. With the award status marked as active and the contract having been signed on 25th March 2026, the contract period spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The entire procurement process is now in the award stage, with Synnovis Analytics LLP, located in London, serving as the main supplier.
