The procurement follows the Provider Selection Regime regulations 2023, exempting it from the usual competitive processes outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Award decision-makers include Sarah Walters and Mark Harrison, and the service delivery is set within the region UKE41. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in digital histopathology and pathology services; however, it should be noted that it intends to directly award the contract without competitive tendering. Businesses with a proven track record in providing high-quality, integrated services in healthcare diagnostics may find this contract especially appealing. As the contract seeks to replace existing arrangements, providers capable of seamless service integration and maintaining high standards of diagnostic delivery stand to benefit.

Award decision-makers; Sarah Walters Mark Harrison Based on the Authorities assessment and PSR decision making process (taking into account key criteria; quality, value, integration, inequalities and access), ILS LLP intends to award a contract following MSP Process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The authority is proposing a new contract to replace the existing contract at the end of its term and the proposed contracting arrangements are not changing considerably. ILS LLP is of the view that they are able to identify the most suitable provider without running a competitive exercise.
