The requirement covers collecting cervical screening samples and distributing consumables to selected GP practices in Bedfordshire and the surrounding local area. It is a healthcare laboratory-related service, classified under CPV 85145000. The buying organisation is based in Norwich, while delivery is centred on Bedfordshire, with Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust providing the service from Luton. This is a subcontract supporting the cervical screening service that Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations able to coordinate sample collection and consumable distribution across GP practices, rather than to suppliers of laboratory equipment alone. The procurement has reached the award stage. Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust selected Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The award was made on 1 July 2026 to Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for £48,027. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an option to extend for a further year. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award is active and the contract is active. Representations in the standstill period were due by midnight on 25 August 2026. For a supplier assessing future NHS demand, this procurement shows a small, defined subcontract combining cervical screening sample collection with consumables distribution to GP practices across Bedfordshire. A credible competitor would need an established operational network in the area, reliable scheduling and collection arrangements, and the capacity to deliver consumables accurately to multiple primary-care practices. It would also need to understand the handling and onward distribution requirements associated with cervical screening samples, maintain dependable service coordination with NHS organisations and GP practices, and demonstrate consistent performance across the full service chain. The incumbent was a large NHS foundation trust, indicating that familiarity with NHS healthcare delivery and the ability to operate within existing NHS service arrangements may be important when this requirement is next considered. ## Notice Sub-contract to cover the cervical screening sample collection and distribution of consumables service that Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provide to NNUH. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The service provided by Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a collection of cervical screening samples and distribution of consumables to select EoE GP practices local to Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
