Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process led by NHS Grampian focuses on procuring HRD Companion Diagnostic Tests, which are used in genomics to detect Homologous Recombination Deficiency in ovarian cancer patients. The contract is specifically for delivery to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, situated in the UKM50 region. The award stage was reached on 24th June 2026, entailing a value of £153,000. This procurement falls in the health industry category, classified under CPV code 85145000. NHS Grampian executed a limited procurement method, justified by the unavailability of UK providers for these specific tests, thereby employing the procedure without prior competition. The contract has been awarded to Myriad Genetics, a large-scale supplier located in London.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in genomic diagnostic services, particularly those capable of delivering highly specialised tests like the HRD Companion Diagnostic Test. While the procurement was conducted under a limited method due to a technical monopoly, businesses capable of providing similar niche diagnostic services or innovative alternatives may find growth opportunities through engagement in future tenders. Companies focusing on cutting-edge medical technology and those aiming to expand their presence in the UK healthcare sector could be particularly well-suited to explore collaborations or subcontracting opportunities within this procurement landscape.
