UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured blood sciences laboratory referral work under the title “laboratory referral work”. The requirement is for medical laboratory services supporting the Trust’s blood sciences laboratory activity. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for work associated with Cambridge University Hospitals. The buyer is a public NHS foundation trust based in Cambridge. The procurement covers one service lot and is focused on laboratory referral provision rather than laboratory equipment, construction or general healthcare services. Businesses operating medical laboratories, specialist pathology services or referral testing services are the most relevant potential competitors for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was run as a below-threshold tender, with the published method described as unknown, and covered one lot. Imperial College Projects Limited was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2027. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT, or £42,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used the 2023/54 legal basis. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract value; the procurement record does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown.

This procurement provides a useful benchmark for suppliers of medical laboratory and specialist pathology services seeking work with an NHS foundation trust. A credible competitor would need to handle blood sciences laboratory referral work reliably, manage referred samples and associated laboratory processes, and provide results that support clinical services. Relevant capability may include established laboratory infrastructure, qualified scientific and technical staff, robust quality management, secure handling of patient-related information and dependable communication with the referring hospital. Imperial College Projects Limited is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the buyer’s requirement was fulfilled by an organisation with substantial capacity. Providers with comparable NHS, hospital or specialist laboratory referral experience would be best placed for future comparable requirements.
