Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as the buying organisation, located in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The process was for the "Supply of clonality reagents" within the goods industry category and was in the award stage as of 26th January 2026. The contract specifically targeted clonality reagents necessary for cancer genomic testing. This procurement utilised a direct award method, mainly due to the specialised nature of the reagents and the fact that Invivoscribe Technologies, SARL, based in Marseille, France, is the sole supplier capable of providing the validated reagents. The contract period is set from 5th February 2026 to 4th February 2027, with a gross value of £180,000. The contract is above the specified threshold, providing plenty of time for the completion of a standstill period that ends on the 4th of February 2026.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in medical and genomic testing supplies. Companies experienced in the supply of niche, high-value goods, especially those involved in the provision of similar reagents or medical products, might find similar tenders appealing for potential future engagement. Although the current contract was awarded directly due to specific technical reasons, developing expertise and credentials in such niche supplies might position businesses to better seize similar opportunities in other markets or even within different divisions of the healthcare sector. This could be especially beneficial for SMEs that can offer innovative solutions or distinct products that are currently underrepresented in the London and Eastern regions of the UK.
