## Summary

The contracting process for the "Specialist send away tests - Great Ormand Street" project by Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust involved a recently completed award stage. This award was made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, which does not incorporate the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement was conducted via a limited method without a prior publication of a competition call, and it falls under the services category, specifically pathology services. The contract, valued at £6,000, was awarded to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust and was signed on 1st April 2026. The procurement was targeted for services within the UKF2 region.

This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in pathology services, to leverage their expertise in fulfilling referral testing requirements. Companies that are well-suited to provide specialised healthcare services or to engage with NHS Trusts for service provision could find opportunities for growth and collaboration. By successfully securing such contracts, companies can establish a strong presence in the public healthcare market and potentially expand their range of services offered. The limited procurement method meant that previous suppliers with proven expertise and established relationships were more likely to benefit from this award.
