UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was managed by Genomics England Limited, a public authority within the central government sector, based in London, United Kingdom. The project, titled "Manuscript Development for NGRL Publication," involved awarding a contract for the creation of a scientific manuscript to boost the National Genomic Research Library's presence. This contract has now reached completion, following a procurement method characterised by limited competition, as it fell below the threshold for more extensive competition. The contract, with Co-Labb SLU as the supplier, covers services in the advertising and marketing category and is active from 15 December 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a potential extension until 30 April 2026.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in scientific content creation, particularly those with expertise in drafting and editing for peer-reviewed journals. Enterprises that focus on research engagement and offer competitive advertising and marketing services may find such projects beneficial. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Co-Labb SLU, are well-positioned to compete for these contracts, given the scope and nature of the work required. The broad coverage across various regions in the UK indicates potential for business expansion and increased visibility in the public sector research community.
