Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist DPYD and CFEU diagnostic kits for use in its Genomics Laboratories. The kits are supplied by Yourgene Health UK and are specific to that manufacturer. They have been verified for urgent diagnostic testing carried out to UKAS-accredited standards. This is a laboratory consumables and diagnostic reagents requirement, classified under laboratory reagents. The purchasing organisation is based at Hills Road, Cambridge, and the kits support testing activity in its Genomics Laboratories. The requirement concerns goods rather than consultancy, construction or general laboratory supplies, and is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of molecular diagnostic kits and associated laboratory reagents.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. Yourgene Health UK was selected on 19 June 2026 for the single lot, with an awarded value of £467,760 excluding VAT, or £561,312 including VAT. The award covers a contract period from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2028. The signed contract is active, was signed on 29 July 2026, and runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2028, with the same value of £467,760 excluding VAT, or £561,312 including VAT. The buyer’s stated rationale was that the kits are specialist to Yourgene Health and verified for urgent diagnostic UKAS-accredited testing. The award basis was technical reasons associated with a single supplier.

This award shows established demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for manufacturer-specific DPYD and CFEU kits supporting urgent genomic diagnostics. A credible competitor for any future requirement of this kind would need reliable access to the relevant diagnostic products, strong technical knowledge of their intended laboratory use and the ability to support urgent testing without disrupting clinical workflows. Evidence that products are validated or verified for the required testing environment would be important, particularly where work is performed to UKAS-accredited standards. Suppliers should also be able to provide consistent reagent quality, dependable supply and responsive service to a hospital genomics laboratory. The requirement is best suited to specialist diagnostic manufacturers, authorised distributors or laboratory reagent businesses with relevant healthcare supply experience.
