Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited commissioned consultancy to define clinical and laboratory requirements for the NG-Dx programme. The work involves a structured programme of in-depth qualitative interviews and observational research, using an outcome-driven methodology. Its purpose is to identify and prioritise needs that currently limit the efficiency, reproducibility and adoption of multi-omics diagnostics. This is a research and development consultancy service, covering the investigation and specification of requirements rather than the supply of laboratory equipment or diagnostic products. The buyer is based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar, and the requirement is associated with its NG-Dx programme. The opportunity is therefore relevant to specialist research, healthcare, laboratory, diagnostics or innovation consultancies able to engage clinical and laboratory stakeholders and turn findings into practical requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective, competitive below-threshold award under a framework. There was one completed lot, and the contract was awarded to Umio. The contract was signed on 22 December 2025, runs from 7 February 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is active. Its value is £182,116 excluding VAT and £218,539.20 including VAT. The buyer later added £3,116 for unforeseen expenses, with the changes classified as non-substantial. The amendment record states that no further call-offs are to be made on this framework. The procurement was evaluated through the framework award route; the available details do not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. The contract is linked to a wider framework procurement.

This award indicates demand from the Centre for Process Innovation for specialist consultancy that can investigate clinical and laboratory needs and convert evidence into a requirements specification for advanced diagnostics. A credible competing supplier would need capability in qualitative research, in-depth stakeholder interviewing and observational research, with access to people who understand clinical workflows and laboratory practice. Experience of outcome-driven or similarly structured methodologies would be relevant, as would the ability to identify, assess and prioritise barriers to efficiency, reproducibility and adoption. Suppliers should be able to work across clinical, laboratory, research and innovation environments, analyse diverse findings and produce clear, usable requirements. Understanding multi-omics diagnostics and the practical conditions needed for their implementation would strengthen a future competing offer to this buyer.
