## Summary

The public procurement process led by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust focuses on the direct award for the supply of tissue processing reagents and waste chemical collection services. This tender pertains to the Berkshire & Surrey Pathology Services, classified under laboratory reagents and pathology services, located in the UKJ region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was initiated to maintain operational standards without service disruption. The contract is scheduled to commence on 5th June 2025 and conclude on 4th June 2026, with the award notice having been published on 22nd May 2025. This procurement method ensures continuity by securing supplies from the current provider, Proteome Ltd, thereby preserving essential UKAS accreditation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory reagents and waste management services within the healthcare sector. Companies capable of meeting the stringent validation and testing requirements could leverage their expertise to provide critical reagents for histology lab operations, potentially fostering long-term collaborations with the NHS. Businesses already experienced in servicing NHS contracts or possessing a robust compliance protocol for health sector accreditations would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, ensuring the uninterrupted functionality of vital medical services.

## Notice

The tissue processing reagents are vital for the Trust to carry out bone decalcification and tissue staining, which are essential for the continued operation of the Histology laboratory. The collection of waste or used reagents is included as part of the service.

### Procurement Information

This concerns the supply of tissue processing reagents by the existing supplier, where all reagents and products supplied have been tested and validated. A change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving reagents that differ from the validated goods, which would invalidate the current UKAS accreditation. Such differences could result in service disruption.
