Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured Genomics operational management, DGTS and UGR support services for its genomics projects, including the TD projects named in the requirement. The work is primarily technology and software development support, despite the procurement being classified under goods. Delivery is centred on Leeds, with the requirement also covering the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and locations elsewhere in the world. The buyer is NHS England, based at Wellington Street in Leeds. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing digital, software and operational support for genomics programmes, particularly those able to work across geographically distributed NHS or public-sector environments and support specialist genomics-related technology activity.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. NHS England used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12 noon. The tender value was £4,524,187. Answer Digital Limited was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026, with an awarded value of £9,048,374. The contract runs from 9 July 2026 to 8 July 2028. The award is active and covers the full requirement. The stated procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is itself identified as an SME. The award followed the framework call-off process for the Genomics OM, UGR and TD Projects requirement.

This award demonstrates NHS England demand for specialist genomics technology and operational support delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future supplier would need software development capability combined with operational management experience in genomics programmes, including DGTS and UGR support and the related TD project environment. Relevant businesses should be able to provide dependable digital delivery, understand complex public-sector or NHS settings, and support services across multiple geographic locations. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist technology business can be a credible participant where it has the required technical expertise, delivery capacity and framework access. Experience translating specialist genomics needs into reliable software and support services would strengthen a competitor's position when this buyer next requires comparable work.
