## Summary

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the award stage of a procurement process for laboratory services, specifically under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), following Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, titled "Lab Services Freeman - SQCL," involves medical laboratory services, with the main delivery location in the UKC11 region. The contract's value is approximately £38,357.87, and it is scheduled to begin on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027. Representations by providers concerning this award were required by the end of the standstill period, beginning 7th July 2026. This process did not follow the standard competitive call for tender due to its specific regulatory framework.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical laboratory services, particularly those familiar with NHS operations and the specific requirements of health care procurements. While the procurement process was conducted under a limited procedure without prior competition, organisations with established reputations or partnerships within the NHS may find such opportunities conducive to business growth. Firms that can demonstrate excellence in quality, innovation, and social value and those that support access and reduce inequalities will likely be well-suited for similar opportunities, ensuring compliance with PSR standards and effectively contributing to the NHS's service sustainability and integration goals.
