## Summary

Newcastle City Council has initiated a public procurement process titled "Regional Post Mortem Pathology Services" within the healthcare industry, specifically focused on providing pathology services. The procurement is currently in the award stage, having been completed with the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust as the selected supplier. The contract, valued at £10 million, commenced on 1st September 2021 and will run until 31st August 2031. The procurement method employed was a selective approach through a competitive dialogue, with the tender period ending on 13th December 2019. This initiative is located in the North East of England, with delivery addresses specified in the region.
