A supplier engagement day is scheduled for 6th May 2021, with expressions of interest due by 30th April 2021. The procurement will likely utilise the Competitive Dialogue award procedure, and potential bidders should expect further discussions regarding the inclusion of additional laboratories in alignment with forthcoming NHSi Pathology Networks. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pathology services or laboratory equipment. Companies that provide reagents, installation services, and maintenance for pathology equipment will find a strong fit here. Engaging in this procurement process could enable businesses to expand their client base within the health sector, particularly those looking to establish long-term partnerships as a primary managed service provider or as part of a third-party service provision.
