UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Genomics England Limited, a central government public authority based in London, has completed a procurement process titled "Airlock publication" under the tender ID GEL-RE-25274. This project involves manuscript development services for a review paper on Genomics England's Airlock. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on writing and technical author services, and it utilised a limited competition method, being below the threshold. The contracting process started with the tender initiation on 3rd December 2025, with the contract due to end on 3rd March 2026. The location of service delivery is within the United Kingdom, and there's potential for a contract extension by an additional month.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in writing and technical authoring services, particularly those that can deliver manuscript development for scientific review papers. Small and medium enterprises, similar to the awarded supplier Co-Labb SLU, could find opportunities to grow by engaging in such specialised services with government authorities like Genomics England. Businesses with expertise in genomics or similar scientific fields will be well-suited to compete for contracts that require high technical proficiency and an ability to work closely with central government organisations. Utilising limited competition methods also means that businesses with niche expertise but lesser prominence can discuss and secure government contracts effectively.
