## Summary

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust procured an outsourced histology reporting service, a specialist pathology service. The work is associated with the Trust’s site in Worcester. This requirement is for reporting rather than a broader pathology or diagnostic service; the stated scope is limited to outsourced histology reporting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Medica Reporting Ltd. The Trust used an open procedure. The award was made on 2 October 2026, for £1,980,958. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2028. The tender deadline was 9 January 2026. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published procurement details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows that Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust buys outsourced histology reporting as a defined specialist service. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver histology reporting reliably at the scale represented by this contract. The selected supplier is an SME, but the procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated requirement does not set out particular accreditations, technical credentials or capacity thresholds, so those cannot be identified as conditions of the award.
