King's College Hospital Foundation Trust Procurement appeal

TDL Pathology Limited has brought a procurement appeal to the CCP in relation to procurement by King's College Hospital Foundation Trust for the establishment of a strategic partnership for the provision of pathology services. TDL Pathology Limited submits that King's College Hospital Foundation Trust breached Principle 3 of the Principles and Rules for Cooperation and Competition by not allowing for a reasonable timetable for the procurement process and by not carrying out a new process when a change was made to the contract available.

The CCP will assess whether the procurement was consistent with the Principles and Rules for Cooperation and Competition, in particular Principle 3 .

The CCP welcomes submissions from interested individuals and organisations on any matter relevant to the CCP's assessment of this case under the Principles and Rules for Cooperation and Competition. Please email submissions to the CCP at: cases@ccpanel.gsi.gov.uk.

The closing date for submissions from interested individuals and organisations is 3 March 2011.
