Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for haematology referrals, spearheaded by the Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, has reached the award stage. The contract, titled "Haematology Referrals - Synnovis", is focused on services provided by medical laboratories, specifically in the haematology testing category. This contract, covered under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), has a duration from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with a contract value of £18,000. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the tender process concluded with the award being signed on 24th July 2026. The services will be delivered in the UK, with the supplier being Synnovis Analytics LLP, based in London.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large medical laboratory service providers looking to expand their footprint in the UK’s healthcare sector. Companies capable of providing specialized haematology testing services would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurements. The explicit decision to employ a direct award method suggests a targeted approach, potentially paving the way for organisations with established reputations in healthcare service provision. Businesses seeking to engage with NHS contracts could leverage such opportunities to enhance their market presence and contribute to the public health infrastructure.
