Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Following a competitive exercise issued by East of England SHA, GP Direct Access Pathology Services will be awarded in three lots across the East Midlands and West Midlands. Subsequently, Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the Authority), will not be in a position to bid for this work and are therefore seeking expressions of interest from Candidates to establish a cost effective method for the future delivery of the inpatient and outpatient pathology services that will remain at the Trust.
Currently the Authority's pathology service provides Clinical Chemistry, Haematology, Blood Transfusion and Microbiology on site 24/7. Cellular Pathology (excluding Cervical Cytology) is provided off site via an external contract. The Authority will consider proposals as to the optimum balance of services delivered on and off site as part of the process, along with how the service scope may be divided among providers where beneficial.
Please note that the Authority is engaed in discussions related to the potential to join regional Pathology Alliance organisations, therefore there can be no guarantee of award in this procurement exercise.
Due to the nature of the contract, an advert has also been placed in Supply 2 Health.
