This contract, valued at £28,300,000, will primarily serve the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, located in Glasgow, UK. The procurement method utilised was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the complexities involved in preparing for a contract of this size and nature. The contract was signed on 31st August 2021, marking the completion of this stage in the procurement process. This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale service providers, particularly those in the healthcare and laboratory services sector, looking to expand their operations within the NHS. Businesses that can deliver quality and value in laboratory medicine will be well-positioned to compete for future contracts, especially given the necessity for ongoing clinical services in the current public health landscape. As the NHS prepares for a more complete re-tendering process in the longer term, firms with expertise in laboratory management services may find avenues for collaboration or subcontracting within this contract extension. ## Notice 12 month extension to current Labs Managed Service ### Lot Information Lot 1 Provision of a managed service agreement for the large majority of analyses performed within the NHS GG&C Laboratory Medicine Department across the full range of laboratory specialties ### Procurement Information Preparation for a contract of this size and complexity has a long lead time of around 3 years, therefore the Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unavoidable diversion of Health Board resources across Labs disciplines, Finance and Procurement. A 12 month extension will therefore allow time to prepare for the longer term re-tender. This is a reasonable and proportionate step in order to maintain a critical clinical service whilst balancing this against our legal duty to expose the requirement to full, open competition in due course. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP427189 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Aug 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £28,300,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G4 0SF | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Dennistoun | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ABBOTT LABORATORIES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71900000 - Laboratory services ## Release History - 13 Sep 2021 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP427189 - 2 Jul 2021 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL420158 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL420158 Laboratory Managed Service - Extension - 12 month extension to current Labs Managed Service - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP427189 Laboratory Managed Service - Extension - 12 month extension to current Labs Managed Service ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.nhsggc.org.uk/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000659410 - https://www.abbott.com/ - https://www.nhsggc.org.uk/about-us/procurement/ - https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
