Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a cervical screening support service from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement covers collecting cervical screening samples and distributing consumables to selected East of England GP practices local to Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It is a healthcare service delivered across practices in the Cambridge area, supporting the Norfolk and Norwich trust’s cervical screening provision. The procurement is classified as medical laboratory services. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the appointed provider and is a large NHS organisation based in Cambridge, while the buying organisation is based in Norwich.

The procurement has reached the intention-to-award and contract stage under the Provider Selection Regime, using Direct Award Process C without a prior competition. One bid was recorded and the award was assessed on price. The contract was awarded to Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at £42,215.25, with a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028 and an option for a further one-year extension. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The standstill period began with the intention-to-award notice, and provider representations were due by midnight on 28 July 2026. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This procurement shows recurring NHS demand for an integrated cervical screening logistics service: collecting screening samples and supplying consumables to GP practices across a defined local healthcare network. A credible future supplier would need the operational capacity to coordinate regular sample collection, manage consumables distribution and serve multiple primary-care practices reliably. Experience of healthcare logistics, cervical screening workflows and the handling of clinical samples would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand NHS governance and the requirements of the Provider Selection Regime, including the evidence needed for a direct-award or alternative provider-selection decision. The requirement is suited to an established healthcare provider or specialist laboratory and distribution partner able to work closely with NHS trusts and local GP practices.
