## Summary

The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is planning a procurement process for a Pathology MES contract, part of the South 4 Pathology Network, in collaboration with other NHS Trusts. The procurement process, initiated through a tender, involves premarket engagement activities with interested suppliers, with a formal tender notice expected in Spring 2025. The current contract for managed laboratory services has been extended to align operations within the network. The buying organisation is actively engaging with potential suppliers, including Abbott Laboratories Limited. The contract extension aims to avoid duplication of costs during the transition to the re-procured solution.

This public procurement opportunity for a managed laboratory service contract offers business growth potential to suppliers in the healthcare industry, particularly those providing laboratory services. Small and large-scale suppliers with expertise in biochemistry, immunology, haematology, microbiology, virology, genetics, and pathology are well-suited to compete in this competitive flexible procedure procurement process under the Procurement Act 2023. Suppliers interested in engaging with the South 4 Pathology Network in a dialogue-based procurement should monitor the upcoming tender notice release in Spring 2025 for opportunities to participate in this significant healthcare procurement process.
