Explanation:
Coventry and Warwickshire Pathology Services (“CWPS”) have been commissioned to provide pathology services at Queens Hospitals Burton (“QHB”) until October 2021; after this date the services at QHB will be provided by University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (“UHDB”). CWPS is a managed network of laboratories hosted by University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust.

There is an existing contract between Coventry and Warwickshire Pathology Services (“CWPS”) and the supplier, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (“OCD”) for the provision of Blood Transfusion equipment.

UHDBFT (Burton) now intend to bring those services in-house (the insourcing) but they need to keep the existing equipment on site.
