## Summary

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for a Cellular Pathology contract, which falls under the health services industry category. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication, specifically under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) governed by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The contract was awarded to SOURCE BIOSCIENCE UK LIMITED, with the standstill period initiating on 13th July 2026. The procurement was classified as services and the delivery location is indicated as the region UKC22 in the United Kingdom. The contract, requiring a detailed evaluation against specific criteria such as quality, innovation, and social value, was deemed to meet the necessary standards.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses keen on expanding their footprint in health services, particularly those specialising in pathology. Companies with robust capabilities in quality service provision, innovation, integration, and collaboration in healthcare are well-suited to engage in such tenders. Given the limited competition due to the absence of an open call, providers with strategic relationships or prior experience with NHS frameworks can leverage these opportunities for growth. While the current award is designated, staying informed about future evaluations in similar procurement opportunities will be crucial for businesses aiming for long-term partnerships with NHS entities.
