## Summary

The procurement process for "Cambridgeshire Coroners – Direct Award B Awards" was completed under the management of Cambridgeshire County Council, a regional authority located in Huntingdon, UK. This contract focuses on pathology services and falls under the services category. The procurement was conducted via direct award process B, within the Provider Selection Regime, without the need for prior publication of a call for competition. The contract services, valued in GBP, cover the period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with locations specified in the UKH11 and UKH12 regions. Key suppliers involved include Dr E Soilleux, Dr J Tadross, Astall Pathology Services Ltd (Dr Astall), Dr D Bailey, and Dr A E K Ibrahim, all of whom signed their contracts on 1 April 2026.

This opportunity allows for significant business growth for those specialising in pathology services. SMEs in particular can benefit, given that the awarded suppliers predominantly operate within this scale and are based in regions like Cambridge and Peterborough. The process prioritised provider quality over pricing, aligning well for businesses that emphasise service quality. Additionally, as this was a direct award under non-public competition conditions, companies with pre-existing relationships and a focus on patient choice as a quality metric had a competitive edge.
