Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured genotyping services for its research activities. The requirement falls within research laboratory services and covers the provision of genotyping work rather than the supply of a standalone product. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UKRI is a central government public authority and the buying organisation. The procurement was structured as a single requirement, covering the full genotyping service. The work is relevant to laboratories, genomics providers and specialist research service businesses able to process and deliver genotyping services for a public research organisation. The requirement sits within UKRI’s wider research infrastructure and is intended to support its scientific activities through outsourced laboratory capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One bid was received and one final-stage bid was evaluated. Transnetyx, Inc. was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026. The award value was £1,500,000 excluding VAT and £1,800,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 9 September 2031. Its stated value is $2,300,000. The award decision used a quality-and-price evaluation: technical and quality considerations carried 70% and price carried 30%. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 17:00, enquiries closed on 24 July 2026 at 17:00, and the award period ended on 17 August 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained UKRI demand for specialist genotyping delivered as a managed research laboratory service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need established genotyping capability, laboratory systems able to process research samples reliably, and the operational capacity to support a multi-year public-sector service. Evidence of technical quality is particularly important because quality carried substantially more weight than price in the evaluation. Suppliers should therefore be able to explain their laboratory methods, quality controls, reporting processes, data handling and service continuity arrangements in a clear, evidence-based response. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist smaller providers may be relevant where they can demonstrate sufficient capacity and research-laboratory experience.
