## Summary

The procurement process for the "Immunology Referrals - Manchester University NHSFT" contract was conducted by Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for services provided by medical laboratories, and is located in the United Kingdom. The process is at the contract award stage, with the contract being awarded on 22nd July 2025. The service provision period is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, with a contract value of £9,000. The procurement method used was a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), which operates outside the typical competitive processes outlined in standard procurement legislation.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in medical laboratory services, particularly those capable of offering immunology referral tests. While Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust has been identified as the supplier, similar businesses in the healthcare industry could position themselves for future tenders by demonstrating their capability to meet the specific standards and accreditation requirements. Enterprises with established service delivery and a workforce skilled in the medical laboratory sector would be well-suited to compete for such contracts, especially in leveraging direct award procedures under the PSR framework. This illustrates the potential for collaboration with NHS entities and the possibility of expanding clientele within the healthcare domain.
