Summary, notice description and lot information

Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire has awarded a contract to Forensic Access Ltd for the delivery of pathology histology services to Warwickshire Police. The contract addresses the need following the withdrawal of services previously provided by Forensic Pathology Services. This direct award contract, valued at approximately £12,000 plus VAT per annum, will run from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2028, with no extensions planned.

The procurement process employed a direct method below the threshold without competition, and the services fall under the industry category of pathology services. This contract focuses on the Warwickshire region, specifically within the UKG13 area. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the forensic science and pathology sectors.

Companies specialising in pathology services, particularly those with expertise in histology, would find this contract beneficial for growth. As Forensic Access Ltd, an SME, has been awarded this contract, it demonstrates that smaller-scale enterprises with specialised offerings can effectively compete by catering to the precise and critical needs of regional law enforcement agencies. This procurement highlights the potential for similar entities to capitalise on niche service requirements in public sector procurement.
