Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, involves an intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) to Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The focus of the contract is on services provided by medical laboratories, specifically the cervical screening sample collection and distribution of consumables related to Cambridge University's NHS services. The process has reached the award stage, under a Direct Award Process C, governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, excluding the scope of Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The timeline for the services spans from 1st July 2026 to 31st March 2028, with an extension option of one year and valued at approximately £42,215.25. The standstill period for provider representations ends on 28th July 2026, and the projects are situated in the UKH region.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, specifically those specialising in medical laboratory operations and distribution logistics within the healthcare sector. Ideal candidates might include businesses experienced in medical supply chains or those with existing frameworks within NHS service provision. The structured selection process without prior competition publication presents strategic entry for well-positioned existing providers, thus encouraging businesses with prior NHS partnerships or similar service expertise to partake. As the direct award follows the PSR guidelines and is exempt from the typical public procurement regulations, it offers a unique opportunity for established entities adept at managing healthcare service contracts.
