## Summary

The public procurement process conducted by Cambridgeshire County Council pertained to the direct award of contracts for pathology services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This process, detailed under the ID DN803888, was executed via a limited procurement method to avoid prior publication of a competition call. The primary industry category is "services," particularly focusing on pathology services. The contract commenced on 1 April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2026, serving regions UKH11 and UKH12. Contracts were awarded to Dr S Preston, Astall Pathology Services, and Dr D Bailey, with each provider holding an individual contract with an active status since 1 April 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in pathology services, especially those already operating within the regions of Cambridge and Peterborough. SMEs may find particular advantage given the focused local engagement and the lack of extensive bid competition. The direct award process indicates that businesses with established relationships with the buyer or those possessing niche service capabilities could potentially participate in future opportunities. This process is particularly beneficial for businesses adept at delivering high-quality pathology services, aligned with the criteria of patient choice and quality emphasis.
