Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a DNAnexus Titan subscription with standard support. This is a specialist technical analysis and consultancy service, delivered for the Trust in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The requirement is for access to the Titan subscription and the associated supplier support service, rather than general IT support or a broad technology implementation. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust using the service within its Cambridge operations. The procurement was structured as a single lot and concerns services. Businesses reviewing this requirement should therefore focus on specialist providers able to supply and support the DNAnexus Titan platform, rather than suppliers of general software licensing, infrastructure, or unrelated analytical consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust made a direct award to DNAnexus on 7 November 2025, using a sole-provider rationale: DNAnexus was identified as the only provider of the service, with exclusive intellectual-property rights cited. The award and active contract are valued at USD 200,000 gross. The award contract period runs from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2026; the contract was signed on 9 December 2025 and its recorded contract period runs from that date to 30 November 2026. The procedure used one completed lot. The award was made through direct procurement rather than an open competition, so the decisive basis was the service’s exclusive availability from the selected supplier.

This award indicates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals for a named, specialist platform subscription backed by standard support, at a substantial service scale. A credible future competitor would need to provide the same or demonstrably equivalent Titan capability, maintain the technical expertise needed to support the platform, and show that its service can meet an NHS foundation trust’s operational requirements. The direct-award rationale means platform ownership, exclusive rights, or formal authority to supply would be commercially important, not simply general experience in technical analysis. Suppliers tracking this buyer should assess whether they can offer an authorised alternative, a successor service, or the relevant platform and support capability when the requirement next reaches the market. Large specialist technology providers are likely to be better placed than generalist consultancies.
