## Summary

Integrated Laboratory Services LLP (ILS LLP) has initiated the process to award a contract for biochemistry tests to the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, following Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract, which involves pathology services, is valued at £30,000 and is slated for the period from 19 February 2026 to 18 February 2027, with an option to extend for up to an additional 12 months. The buyer, ILS LLP, is located at Airedale General Hospital in Keighley, United Kingdom. This procurement process has reached the intention to award stage, with representations from other providers to be submitted by 18 February 2026. No conflicts of interest have been identified, and the procurement method employed does not require a prior call for competition due to the satisfactory performance of the incumbent provider and the desire to ensure continuity of care.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses within the healthcare and pathology services sector, particularly those capable of providing biochemistry tests. Although the contract is currently intended to be awarded to an existing supplier, businesses with innovative solutions that demonstrate value for money and quality service delivery may see future opportunities as the contract allows for extension and potential reassessment. Companies that specialise in laboratory services, specifically in referral services for biochemistry tests, are most suited to consider this opportunity. The procurement strategy prioritises efficient and effective delivery of services, offering growth potential for businesses looking to expand their regional client bases in the North West of England.

## Notice

Integrated Laboratory Services LLP (ILS LLP) has awarded a contract for biochemistry tests to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust under the Provider Selection Regime using Direct Award Process C. The service will run from 26/02/2026 to 25/02/2027 with the option to extend for a further additional period of up to 12 months, with a total contract value of PS30000.

This award relates to the continued delivery of an existing service, which is not changing substantially in scope or specification.

Direct Award Process C has been used because the current provider is delivering the service to a satisfactory standard, is capable of continuing to do so, and remains the provider best placed to ensure continuity of care. Running a competitive process would not add value and is not required under the PSR.

In making this decision, the contracting authority has considered the PSR objectives and is satisfied that the award supports quality, value for money, integration, and continuity of services. A full decision record has been completed in line with PSR transparency requirements. Individual(s) making the award decision were;
