## Summary

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board procured PCR assay testing services, categorised as pathology services. The requirement covers the provision of PCR assay testing for healthcare activity delivered in the Newport and Monmouthshire areas of Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership actioned the procurement on the health board’s behalf. The requirement was placed against the Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services framework, indicating a need for an established diagnostic testing service rather than equipment supply or construction work. The selected supplier, SEROSEP UK LIMITED, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Crawley. Businesses operating pathology laboratories, diagnostic testing services or specialist PCR assay facilities would be closest to this requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was a limited procedure using a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, as a continuation of an existing contract with established services. The contract was signed and awarded on 18 August 2026 to SEROSEP UK LIMITED for £719,200.66 including the stated contract value currency, GBP. The award was evaluated on price. One bid was received, and it came from an SME. The procurement was recorded as a single lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the related award and contract are active; the active award and contract represent the reported outcome. The contract period is not stated.

This award shows a defined requirement for PCR assay testing within Aneurin Bevan University Health Board’s pathology service environment, delivered through the NHS Wales procurement route. A credible future competitor would need the operational capability to provide reliable PCR assay testing at health-service scale, with laboratory capacity, suitable testing processes and the ability to maintain established service continuity. The buyer’s use of the Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services framework also makes framework access and compliance important for suppliers targeting this route. The award was decided on price, so a competitive cost model would be central alongside technical delivery capability. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than only by a large diagnostic services group.
