## Summary

The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Cellular Pathology Insourcing" under the Health Care Services industry category. This contract was awarded through the NHS Workforce Alliance Insourcing framework without a prior call for competition, classified under a limited procurement method. Located in the East of England region, specifically in Norwich, the award was confirmed on 19th December 2025. The contract is valued at £40,000 for services provided from 1st January 2026 to 28th February 2026. Health Now Limited, a supplier in Chertsey, Surrey, has been appointed as the supplier. The process followed the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), distinct from the normal obligations of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for service providers specialising in pathology and medical support services. Businesses with capabilities in delivering pathology services will find this contract advantageous due to its strategic alignment with health services and the stable revenue potential through NHS frameworks. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative solutions or efficient service delivery in the pathology domain are likely well-suited, considering the procurement focused on insourcing, which implies demand for supplementary support to existing NHS services. Given the specialised nature of the services required, this is an attractive opportunity for businesses positioned to fulfil such roles efficiently within the specified timeframe.
