This procurement process seeks to engage with market providers to better understand their interest, capability, and capacity in delivering pathology reporting services. The procurement process is currently in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 17th March 2025. The main procurement category is services, and the procurement value is estimated to be £120,000,000,000. Organisations interested in participating need to complete the questionnaire on the Atamis portal by the set deadline to be considered for further involvement. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in health services, pathology, and related administrative healthcare services, to expand their market presence and secure substantial contracts. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, providing an inclusive growth opportunity for diverse businesses. Engaging in this procurement process can help businesses establish long-term relationships with the NHS and be part of a 4-year framework under the Provider Selection Regime. Interested suppliers should ensure they are registered on the Atamis portal and submit their responses promptly to maximise their chances of being included in the upcoming procurement activities. ## Notice The purpose of the PIN is to gauge interest and connect with providers within this market-place to better understand market interest, capability and capacity to deliver the requirements. This notice is for information only and the Contracting Authority reserves the right to not proceed to tender or at its absolute discretion to amend it at the time of issue of any further notice or notices or at any other time.
