## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by Cambridgeshire County Council, focusing on pathology services under the title "Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B awards." The procurement falls within the services category and is located in Cambridgeshire, UK, specifically regions UKH11 and UKH12. This process has reached the award stage, with the contract awards made following a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contracts were signed in March 2026, and as the procurement method was "limited," the procedure was executed without prior publication of a competitive call. The directive's application scope does not include this procurement due to specific criteria exemptions.

This tender facilitates business growth by allowing existing suppliers to continue offering specialised pathology services. The contracts were awarded to SMEs, such as Dr E Merriott-Ward and Dr T Sadler, with some contracts valued in different currencies, indicating potential international engagement. Businesses focusing on pathology and medical specialist services are well-suited to compete, particularly if they already have an established presence in the specified regions or possess niche expertise that aligns with the award criteria. Through such direct awards, regional or local suppliers can secure paths to enhance their capabilities and market presence in public sector healthcare provisions.
