## Summary

The procurement process overseen by Cambridgeshire County Council pertains to the award of contracts for pathology services, specifically within the industry category of health services. The process, titled "Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B awards," took place under the Provider Selection Regime. The procurement was conducted using a limited method that did not require prior publication of a call for competition, with the contractual period stretching from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The contract, which was signed on 1 April 2025, involves services provided to Cambridgeshire Coroners located in regions UKH11 and UKH12, and the procurement is now at the award stage.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in pathology services, particularly those that already have an established presence and relationships within the healthcare sector, as it builds on existing service provisions. The process was tailored to ensure high-quality outcomes through criteria based on patient choice and was awarded directly to H S Pathology Services Ltd. Such direct awards are advantageous for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialize in niche healthcare services and have the capability to meet specified quality standards, making this a lucrative engagement in the UK’s health services industry.
