## Summary

Kent County Council procured NHS pathology services, classified as a specialist pathology service rather than goods or construction work. The requirement sits within the health and medical testing sector and covers the provision of pathology services for the council. The named buyer is Kent County Council, based in Maidstone. The awarded service was associated with one lot and was supplied by Dr M Koslowski. The contracting process describes the requirement as “NHS Pathology services”, indicating a public-sector healthcare support service involving pathology expertise and delivery. Businesses operating clinical pathology, diagnostic testing or related NHS laboratory services would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dr M Koslowski on 19 November 2025. It was a below-threshold procurement using a light-touch regime; the recorded procurement method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. The contract was signed on the award date and runs from 19 November 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a maximum possible end date of 31 March 2027 and renewal described as “as required”. Its value is £27,482 excluding VAT, or £32,978.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. One lot was completed and awarded. No award or price evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement data.

This procurement confirms demand from Kent County Council for specialist NHS pathology services through a below-threshold, light-touch route. It is most relevant to pathology providers, diagnostic laboratories, clinical testing services and suitably qualified specialists able to deliver healthcare pathology work for a public-sector buyer. A credible future competitor would need the technical expertise to provide pathology services, understand NHS service requirements and maintain the operational capacity needed to deliver the requirement reliably. The award to an individual specialist, rather than a named laboratory business, also indicates that the market can include suitably qualified independent practitioners as well as larger providers. Suppliers tracking Kent’s health-related purchasing can use this requirement to benchmark the type and scale of service bought.
