## Summary

The Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust has completed a procurement process for the provision of outpatient phlebotomy services, specifically supporting adult blood collection at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust sites. This contract, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, was awarded directly without prior competition due to the integrated nature of the existing services, which could not be reasonably provided by another supplier. The contract, valued at £47,956, spans two years from April 2026 to March 2028 and covers services provided across NHS community and acute sites in the Leicestershire region under the industry category of services provided by medical laboratories.

This tender presents limited opportunities for business growth as it highlights a contract awarded on a non-competitive basis to an existing provider due to the essential nature of the healthcare service integration. Businesses that are well-positioned to compete in such a context are those with robust existing partnerships within NHS infrastructures or those that provide complementary healthcare services capable of integration with existing systems. Changes in similar future contracts would require innovation in healthcare service delivery, enabling new entrants to propose feasible alternatives to entrenched processes.
