Summary of the contracting process
The South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is planning a direct award for the Perinatal Bereavement Pathology Testing services, facilitated by the PSR Direct award C process. This procurement, categorised under pathology services, is specifically designed for sensitivities around perinatal bereavement, including autopsies for foetuses and newborns.
The decision stems from an existing service-level agreement (SLA) with Newcastle Upon Tyne Trust, deemed most suitable due to geographic proximity and existing positive outcomes. The service period is set to commence from 31st March 2025 for a duration of three years, primarily delivered at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

Lot 1Planned
Perinatal bereavement Pathology testing Service is a sensitive service that can only be delivered by government approved trusts.
Perinatal pathology conducts autopsies for foetuses and newborns who are stillborn or die shortly after birth. Perinatal autopsy is also used to identify diseases that may have implications for future pregnancies (including genetic diseases) and therefore plays a valuable role in aiding parents to understand the cause of fetal death.
