## Summary

Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP has awarded a contract for Microbiology Tests to the ROYAL LIVERPOOL & BROADGREEN HOSPITALS UNIVERSITY NHS TRUST under the Provider Selection Regime using Direct Award Process C. The contract, valued at £3000, is set to begin on 26 February 2026 and run until 25 February 2027, with potential extensions for two additional 12-month periods. This procurement falls within the pathology services industry category and will be delivered in the region of UKE41, specifically Airedale General Hospital in Keighley, United Kingdom. This award updates an existing service, ensuring continued satisfactory delivery, thus negating the need for a competitive process. The contract decision was influenced by objectives such as ensuring quality, value for money, integration, and continuity of services, with no conflicts of interest identified during the process.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in pathology services, particularly those adept at providing high-quality microbiology tests. Although the contract was awarded using a direct process due to the satisfactory performance of the incumbent provider, businesses that focus on innovative approaches within healthcare services might find similar contracts appealing for establishing long-term partnerships. Given the nature of the contract and the importance of continuity in healthcare services, companies equipped with consistent, reliable delivery methods and who can integrate with existing healthcare operations are particularly well-suited to engage in such procurement processes, ensuring seamless service continuation and integration.

## Notice

Integrated Laboratory Services LLP (ILS LLP) has awarded a contract for Microbiology tests to ROYAL LIVERPOOL & BROADGREEN HOSPITALS UNIVERSITY NHS 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 an additional 2 periods of up to 12 months each, with a total contract value of PS3000.

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;
