## Summary

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a subcontracted cervical screening support service from Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The work covers collecting cervical screening samples and distributing consumables to selected GP practices in the area local to Milton Keynes University Hospital. It is a medical laboratory service, with the operational requirement focused on sample logistics and consumables distribution rather than laboratory testing itself. The buyer is based in Norwich, while delivery is centred on Milton Keynes and nearby practices in the East of England. The requirement supports the delivery of cervical screening services through coordination between NHS organisations and local GP practices.

The process used the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, through a limited procedure without a prior competition. It was evaluated on price. The contract was intended for award to the existing provider, Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and the recorded award is active. The awarded and contracted value is £23,541 in total, in GBP. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028, with a stated option for a further year. One lot covered the service, although that lot is recorded as cancelled. One bid was recorded. The arrangement is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This requirement indicates demand for a dependable NHS-facing cervical screening logistics service: collecting clinical samples from GP practices, distributing consumables, and coordinating movement of materials across a defined local network. A credible future competitor would need operational capability in healthcare sample collection and transport, reliable consumables distribution, suitable procedures for handling time-sensitive clinical materials, and the capacity to serve multiple GP practices consistently. Experience working with NHS trusts, primary care providers or screening programmes would help demonstrate understanding of governance, chain-of-custody expectations and service continuity. The incumbent is a large NHS foundation trust, so competing providers would need evidence of comparable scale, resilience, local coverage and the ability to integrate with established screening workflows.
