Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Cellular Pathology Insourcing" under the Health Care Services industry category. This contract was awarded through the NHS Workforce Alliance Insourcing framework without a prior call for competition, classified under a limited procurement method. Located in the East of England region, specifically in Norwich, the award was confirmed on 19th December 2025.

The contract is valued at £40,000 for services provided from 1st January 2026 to 28th February 2026. Health Now Limited, a supplier in Chertsey, Surrey, has been appointed as the supplier. The process followed the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), distinct from the normal obligations of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
