Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Genomics England Limited, a public body governed by law, is progressing to award a contract titled "Combined Sample Extraction and Whole Genome Sequencing" as part of the Newborns Generation Study. This procurement falls under the laboratory services category and is situated within the UK. The award stage began with the decision to move to a negotiated procedure without prior publication, due to no suitable tenders being received during an open procedure. The contract is set to be officially awarded to Revvity (UK) Limited following a mandatory standstill period ending on 16th March 2025, with the intention to commence the contract on 17th March 2025. The initial contract period extends from March 2025 to 31st March 2027, with an option for a 12-month extension.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in laboratory and research services with the capability to handle large-scale sample processing and whole genome sequencing. The contract involves processing and storing up to 7,000 samples per quarter from July 2025, anticipated to total 44,500 samples over 21 months. This project is pivotal for the Generation Study, aiming to provide rapid diagnosis and treatment for rare genetic conditions through whole genome sequencing of newborns. Consequently, businesses with expertise in accelerated sample extraction, sequencing, and high-throughput laboratory services are well-suited to compete and benefit from this substantial contract.

This Contract Award Notice confirms the award of the contract to the successful supplier to provide sample extraction and whole genome sequencing (WGS) and storage of 44,500 samples within a 7-working-day turnaround time (TAT) service. The procurement was originally advertised under Contract Notice 2023/S 000-036294 but see below for further information regarding the change to the procedure. The Generation Study is the NHS-embedded research study delivered through the Newborn Genomes Programme and aims to explore the benefits, challenges, and practicalities of offering WGS to newborns, to accelerate diagnosis and access to treatment for rare genetic conditions. The Study is divided into two stages and this contract covers the second stage of the study, relating to a combined accelerated extraction and whole genome sequencing only. The study has a a target of an end to end 14-working-day service to participant(s) with Day 1 being the day the sample arrives at the sequencing provider and Day 14 being the delivery of the clinical results to the participant(s). Accelerated Delivery Stage - The Authority has determined that to achieve the 14-working-day service to participant(s), the combined accelerated sample extraction and sequencing service must be conducted in no more than 7-working-days. The service will be scaled to process and store up to 7,000 samples per quarter from July 2025 to March 2027. There is no minimum committed volume within the contract, but it is anticipated that 44,500 samples will be processed within the 21 months of live service. The initial contract will run from the contract signature date in March 2025 to 31st March 2027, with an option to extend by up to 12 months.

Options: One optional extension of up to 12 months, to be agreed by the parties.

Procurement Information

As explained above, Genomics England received no suitable tenders pursuant to the original procurement under the open procedure and therefore exercised its right to negotiate with Revvity (UK) Limited as the only supplier capable of meeting the minimum selection criteria. Genomics England is satisfied that the initial conditions of contract are not substantially altered.
