## Summary

The South Eastern H&SC Trust has awarded a contract for Laboratory Accreditation Services - ISO 15189 to United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) Ltd. The procurement falls outside the scope of regulations due to UKAS being the sole national accreditation body in the UK. The procurement was a limited procedure with no prior publication of a call for competition, and the total contract value is £90,000.

This opportunity for business growth involves the assessment and accreditation of laboratories to ISO 15189 standards in the health industry category. Businesses providing pathology services, particularly in Biochemistry, Haematology & Blood Transfusion, and Microbiology disciplines, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in future tender opportunities in the services category. The location for this procurement is in Belfast, United Kingdom, offering local businesses the chance to engage with the South Eastern H&SC Trust as a regional authority buyer.
