## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, located at Portsmouth Road, Frimley, GU16 7UJ. The contract is titled "Supply of Pathology Sample Barcode Labels" and falls under the goods industry category, specifically focusing on bar-coded labels and pathology services. This procurement reached the award stage on 6th November 2025, following a direct award procedure. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £171,841.60, spans from 5th November 2025 to 31st December 2025.

This tender presents an immediate growth opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of bar-coded labels validated for medical and pathology use. Midco Print And Packaging Limited, a large enterprise, was selected as the supplier due to its ability to meet the tight timeline and technical validation requirements, ensuring continuity of pathology services. Enterprises with similar capabilities, particularly those experienced in rapid production and delivery within regulated environments, would benefit from competing in such tenders to expand their market presence.

## Notice

Supply of Pathology Sample Barcode Labels, validated across the full Berkshire & Surrey Pathology Services Network

### Procurement Information

This is a one-off request for sample barcode labels to ensure service continuity while the procurement exercise is completed in 2026. Berkshire & Surrey Pathology Services will be unable to process samples in 2026 without suitable labels in place by mid-December 2025. Production and delivery require a six-week lead time from receipt of the order. Given that Midco Print & Packaging Limited is the only supplier whose labels have been validated across the full network, and considering the tight timeline, a direct award is being made to a single supplier. Using an alternative without full validation would pose a significant risk of service disruption.
