## Summary

The procurement process involves Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust seeking Managed Laboratory Services (MLS) to enhance its pathology services. The procurement, classified under laboratory services, is at the Award stage as of 10th May 2021. The contract has already been signed on 7th May 2021 and is valued at £3,843,302. This procurement is part of a network-wide initiative involving several hospitals across the Leicestershire, Rutland, and Northamptonshire regions, with the existing contract set to expire on 14th July 2023, following a 24-month extension due to delays caused by COVID-19 restrictions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and laboratory services sectors, particularly those specialising in pathology equipment and services. Companies that can provide the supply, delivery, installation, testing, and maintenance of pathology analysers and associated consumables would be well-suited to compete. This awarding signifies a commitment to a replacement contract that could open doors for both established suppliers and new entrants looking to expand in the public health sector.

## 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.
