Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust procured haematology referral testing through its haematology, blood transfusion and immunology services. The requirement covers the provision of medical laboratory services for haematology tests, supporting the Trust’s patient diagnosis and clinical care. Delivery is described as taking place in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. The selected provider is Synnovis Analytics LLP, a London-based laboratory services business. This is a specialist healthcare testing requirement rather than a general consultancy, equipment supply or construction opportunity, so it is most relevant to medical laboratories and pathology providers with the capability to process haematology referral tests for an NHS trust.

The procurement is complete and was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using direct award process A and a procedure without prior publication of a competition. The award date was 24 July 2026, and the contract is active. Synnovis Analytics LLP was selected for an awarded and contracted value of £18,000. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and covers services from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The stated award basis was that there was no realistic alternative provider or patient choice, recorded as the sole criterion. One bid was recorded. The procurement data identifies the requirement as medical laboratory services, under CPV 85145000.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS demand for outsourced or referred haematology testing within Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need established medical laboratory capability, reliable processes for receiving and analysing referred haematology samples, and the capacity to support the Trust’s clinical services throughout the required service period. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that a substantial, specialist laboratory organisation can meet the buyer’s expectations, although the requirement itself is relatively focused. Providers should be able to demonstrate dependable turnaround, clinical-quality reporting, secure communication with NHS teams and sufficient operational resilience for ongoing referral work. Experience delivering pathology or haematology services to healthcare organisations would help establish credibility when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
