## Summary

The East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust has initiated a tender process for the Provision of an Integrated Digital Pathology Solution. This procurement falls under the goods category and involves the development and implementation of a digital pathology solution in the Lancashire and South Cumbria area. The deadline for submission of tenders is February 17, 2023, with the contract implementation scheduled to begin in Q1 2023 and run until March 2030.

This tender presents an opportunity for companies specializing in medical software packages to compete for the contract.

The East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, being the buying organisation, is seeking innovative solutions to address the pressures outlined in a national pathology report, offering a chance for growth and collaboration within the healthcare sector.

## Notice

In 2017 NHSi proposed the development of 29 pathology collaboration networks across England. The four Trusts in the Lancashire & South Cumbria ICS area - Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (BTHT), East Lancashire Teaching Hospitals (ELTH), Lancashire Teaching Hospitals (LTH) and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay (UHMB) - comprise the Lancashire and South Cumbria Pathology Collaboration. In response to the pressures outlined in The National GIRFT Pathology report (Sept 2021), Lancashire and South Cumbria Pathology Collaboration are looking to develop and implement a Lancashire and South Cumbria integrated digital pathology solution. It is anticipated that laboratory implementation will commence Q1 2023. The programme will deliver digital pathology to 4 laboratories organised into 4 regions.
