Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust procured pathology forms and transportation materials for its pathology services. The requirement is for physical goods, with forms identified as part of the supply. The Trust is the buying organisation. The contract supports pathology operations across the Trust’s service area; the procurement data does not identify individual delivery sites. This is a focused supply requirement rather than a clinical or laboratory service contract, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide the specified forms and associated transportation materials to a hospital trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Jones & Brooks Ltd. The Trust used an open competition below the applicable threshold. One lot was awarded on a best value for money basis, with supplier selection requirements set out in the request-for-quotation documents and specification. The tender deadline was 9 September 2026. The award value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The buyer’s estimated contract period for the lot was 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027.

This award demonstrates demand from The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust for pathology forms and the transportation materials needed to support pathology workflows. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need to provide both the specified forms and suitable materials for transporting pathology items, and show that their offer meets the Trust’s detailed specification. The buyer selected on best value for money, so a credible competitor would need to balance price with reliable conformity to the required products and service needs. The single-lot structure indicates a combined supply requirement rather than separate awards for forms and transportation materials. Suppliers experienced in supplying healthcare organisations with these consumables are the closest fit.
