Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has awarded a contract to Illumina Cambridge Limited for the supply of diagnostic kits, specifically Illumina Consumables. The procurement falls under the health sector and is crucial for supporting diagnostic operations. This award, valued at £12 million, marks the completion stage of the procurement process, which proceeded through a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 28th November 2025 and will run until 30th August 2028, serving multiple locations including London, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and distribution of diagnostic kits and related consumables, particularly those that can supply proprietary products. Large-scale enterprises such as Illumina Cambridge Limited have successfully engaged in this contract, showcasing the advantages for large companies with advanced capabilities in biotech and healthcare goods. As demand heightens for high-quality diagnostic consumables, participating in such government-backed tenders could facilitate strategic growth and expand geographical reach for suitable suppliers. Despite the selective procurement process, large firms with niche offerings in the diagnostic products space are well-positioned to benefit from future opportunities that may arise from similar agreements.
