    Brief

    Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is inviting suppliers to participate in preliminary market engagement for a competitive procurement of a Pathology Managed Service. The managed service will provide laboratory equipment (analytical platforms, automation, point-of-care devices), reagents, consumables, maintenance, software, training, and lifecycle replacement for the Trust's pathology operations. The service will be delivered in two phases: Phase 1 will support existing laboratories at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital, while Phase 2 will transition to a new-build pathology hub (location to be determined). Two hub location scenarios are under consideration, each with different operational implications for acute service provision, transfusion services, and microbiology capabilities across sites. The procurement covers three main disciplines: Blood Sciences (clinical biochemistry, haematology, coagulation, immunology, transfusion equipment), Infection Sciences (microbiology, virology, molecular), and Cellular Pathology, plus enabling works to prepare laboratory facilities. The Trust envisages a lead provider model for Blood Sciences with additional lots for other disciplines. The Trust is actively seeking supplier input on: the draft service specification and key performance indicators, proposed lot structure and phasing, commercial and pricing models, evaluation methodology, and procurement timetable. This engagement is open to all interested suppliers, including SMEs, specialist providers, and potential consortium or sub-contractor participants.
