## Summary

The procurement process is centred around the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Hills Road, Cambridge. The tender titled "UKAS inspection" focuses on certification services within the public authority-central government industry category, specifically maintaining ISO 15189 standards for laboratory inspection. With the procurement stage being complete, the contract was awarded to UKAS. The process began with a contract signed on 5th March 2026, and the contract duration spans from 16th March 2026 to 15th March 2027. The project is situated in the region UKH12 and the contract value is set at £17,499 gross (£14,582.5 net), below the threshold for larger procurement processes.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in certification services and laboratory inspections, particularly those familiar with ISO standards. Given the engagement of UKAS, a large supplier, in this contract, enterprises looking to expand their reach in the healthcare sector could benefit, especially if they offer competitive pricing and maintain high quality standards. Organisations with prior experience in public health sector contracts and those capable of delivering efficient inspection services would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities.
