Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) as the buying authority, which is seeking to award a Managed Service Contract titled "Provision of a Managed Service for Primary Hr-HPV Testing and Cytology-based Triage for NHS Scotland." This contract targets the health industry and is located across two sites within Scotland. The procurement, conducted using a selective method (restricted procedure), is currently at the contract award stage, with a total value of £21,437,174. The contract was signed on 6th August 2019, although the tender dates indicate that submissions were accepted until 15th October 2018. The services are to be delivered from University Hospital Monklands and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

This tender creates significant opportunities for companies specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in laboratory management, testing protocols, and logistics for sample transportation. Businesses that can contribute technology solutions for high-risk human papillomavirus (Hr-HPV) testing, manage automated workflows, and provide quality control will be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the critical nature of these services in public health, potential bidders should demonstrate prior experience, financial stability, and the capability to meet stringent NHS quality and compliance requirements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of a Managed Service for Primary Hr-HPV Testing and Cytology-based Triage for NHS Scotland

Notice Description

NHS National Services Scotland was tendering on behalf of Lanarkshire Health Board and Greater Glasgow Health Board (the 'Health Boards') for a Managed Service Contract (the 'Contract') for a single Contractor for the provision of primary Hr-HPV testing and cervical cytology at the two Processing Laboratories and associated transport of samples to ensure a managed service was delivered for Scotland. Each Health Board has entered into its own Contract with the successful Contractor.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This Contract was for the implementation and management of primary high risk human papillomavirus (Hr-HPV) testing for Cytology based triage to a re-configured Scottish Cytology Screening Programme. Hr-HPV testing will replace cervical cytology as the primary screening method and reflex to cytology-based tests as the triage for women who test positive for high risk human papillomavirus. The operational service vision for the primary Hr-HPV testing and cytology-based triage service was one which includes supply and provision of all liquid based cytology consumables including the logistics of transferring the sample to the site of laboratory testing. Once in the laboratory, the workflow will be managed electronically from test requesting to reporting through laboratory test result algorithms, with the Hr-HPV testing analyses performed on automated platforms, uni-directionally interfaced to a data management system (Scottish Cervical Call Recall System (SCCRS)) using barcode labelling and primary tube sampling for positive sample identification, sample traceability and archiving to minimise transcription and sample handling errors. Following Hr-HPV testing, selected samples will then undergo Cytology based triage with the eventual provision of a definitive result and recommended management in the format of an electronic report.
