This procurement process pertains to pathology services, specifically for first and second trimester Down's syndrome screening, and involves placements in the UKK13 region. As of 2nd June 2026, an intention to award notice has been published, marking the award stage of the process. Those interested have until 12th June 2026 to make representations, following which a standstill period will conclude. The procurement method followed here is a limited procedure, with direct award under PSR regulations, bypassing traditional public procurement regulations and timelines. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for healthcare service providers specialising in advanced maternity and pathology services. Companies that focus on quality, innovation, and integration in delivering healthcare, while emphasising social value and cost-effectiveness, are well-suited to compete. Given that the contract aims to improve access and health equality through innovative solutions, organisations with experience or expertise in facilitating choice and reducing inequalities in public health services stand to benefit. The contract value is significant, at £422,000, underscoring the potential profitability for experienced suppliers in the health services sector. ## Notice GHFT require combined test for first trimester Down's, Edward's and Patau's screening, and the quadruple test for second trimester Down's screening on singleton and twin pregnancies, including providing individual risks for each twin in DCDA (non-identical) pregnancies. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice.
