UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is buying pathology forms and transportation material. This is a goods requirement centred on printed forms and materials used to support the handling and movement of pathology items within the Trust’s services. The requirement is presented as one combined supply package rather than separate service or works activities. The buying organisation is based at Mytton Oak Road, Shrewsbury, and the procurement is associated with the Trust serving Shrewsbury and Telford. Suppliers should therefore focus on the ability to provide the specified pathology documentation and related transportation materials as a coordinated supply requirement. The procurement concerns physical products, not pathology testing, clinical treatment, laboratory analysis or transport operations as a standalone service.

The process has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically through the Atamis procurement portal, and the buyer set the submission deadline as 9 September 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. There is one lot covering the full requirement. The contract is to be awarded on the basis of best value for money. Selection requirements refer bidders to the attached request-for-quotation documents and specification, which contain the detailed conditions and technical requirements. The process uses the open procedure for a goods purchase below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits businesses that manufacture, print, distribute or supply pathology forms and associated transportation materials, particularly those able to provide both elements as a coordinated package. Relevant suppliers should be able to work from a buyer’s specification and request-for-quotation documents, demonstrate that their products meet the stated requirements, and manage reliable supply throughout the contract period. Businesses with established production, stock-control and delivery arrangements for healthcare or laboratory-related consumables are likely to be well placed to respond. The requirement may also suit specialist medical-print suppliers, healthcare consumables distributors and packaging suppliers with pathology-sector experience. The stated evaluation basis means bidders should present a commercially strong offer that demonstrates overall value for money.
