## Summary

The Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the award stage of a procurement process for "Managed Laboratory Services" (MLS) in the healthcare industry. This procurement, aimed at the supply, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance of pathology analysers and associated consumables, has a total value of £3,843,302. The contract period is set to commence on 15th July 2021 and will conclude on 14th July 2023. Notably, the current contract has been extended to align with this new procurement, which is a collaborative effort among several hospitals in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Key dates include the deadline for tender submissions which was 7th May 2021, with the award notice published on 10th May 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory services, particularly those that can provide equipment and maintenance services for pathology analysers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector may find this as an advantageous opportunity for growth, especially those experienced in collaborative tenders within the NHS framework. Companies capable of innovative approaches to laboratory service provision, alongside strong logistical understanding and regulatory compliance, will be well-placed to compete in this field.

## Notice

Supply, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, maintenance of pathology analysers and associated consumables The procurement falls outside of the scope of application of the Directive Explanation: The ME2 network is currently working together with the intention of awarding a network wide contract to replace the existing contract. Due to COVID restrictions this has delayed the process. The existing contract is to be extended for 24 months until 14.07.2023 (With termination for convenience after 12 months giving 6 months notice) The ME2 network will be carrying out a procurement (route yet to be determined) on behalf of the network (us, NGH, Derby, Chesterfield, Nottingham, Path Link, UHL to name a few) and therefore we need to extend our contract to align with the finalisation of this new procurement.
