## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for a contract titled "Molecular Pathology specialist test," focusing on pathology services within the healthcare industry. Specifically, this concerns a specialist referral testing service, which is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom (UKF2). The procurement stage is complete, with the award confirmed on 9th July 2026. Under the Provider Selection Regime, the procurement method was by limited direct award, without prior publication, as per Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This process was outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, reflecting a tailored approach based on existing legal frameworks for healthcare services.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in molecular pathology and specialist medical testing to engage with prominent NHS institutions. Successful suppliers, like the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, can gain significant market exposure and potential future collaborations within the healthcare sector. Companies able to deliver highly specialised tests efficiently and competitively, though previously selected through direct awards, may still explore partnerships due to the visibility and value brought by this £352,000 contract within the expansive NHS network.
