## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is procuring services for the WID Easy project, supplying WID Easy tests to patients using the Trust’s women’s service. The requirement supports the new NHS England initiative and concerns gynaecological or obstetric services. Delivery is for the Trust’s services in Essex, with the buyer based in Basildon. The procurement covers a single requirement rather than separate service areas. It is relevant to organisations involved in supplying WID Easy tests, supporting their use with patients, or delivering the associated gynaecological and obstetric service. The named public-sector buyer is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust serving Mid and South Essex.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. It used a direct award because the buyer confirmed a sole supplier holding the relevant patent; the stated legal basis is the UK Procurement Act 2023. The awarded value is £447,000 excluding VAT and £536,400 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with the signature scheduled for 30 September 2026. The award covers one lot and is classified as a service. The published outcome identifies the requirement and its value, but does not name the selected supplier. The procurement was above the applicable threshold and was not evaluated through a competitive tender, with supplier exclusivity and intellectual-property rights forming the basis for the route used.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for WID Easy testing within a women’s service and shows demand at substantial service scale over a multi-year contract. A credible future competitor would need access to the WID Easy test and the legal right to supply it, particularly because the buyer recorded a sole-supplier position based on a patent. Relevant suppliers would also need to support implementation of the tests for patients and understand delivery within gynaecological or obstetric services under an NHS England initiative. Experience of working with NHS organisations, meeting clinical service requirements and maintaining reliable supply would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next assesses the same requirement.
