## Summary

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has recently awarded a contract for a fully automatic neonatal screening platform intended for Maternal Serum Screening, targeting the North East of England and Cumbria. The procurement process, classified under the goods category, utilised a limited method, wherein the award procedure did not publish a prior call for competition. The contract, valued at £205,249.50, was signed on 21 February 2022, following the completion of the tender process, which had only one bid submitted.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health technology and medical equipment sectors, especially those specialising in screening solutions and automated health systems. Companies with expertise in providing integrated systems for maternal health and those capable of delivering high-quality analysers are well-suited to compete, particularly given the established relationship with PerkinElmer LAS (UK) Ltd, the incumbent supplier. Engaging with such initiatives can enhance business visibility and establish fruitful partnerships within public health frameworks.
