Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust bought 10x Genomics single-cell and spatial transcriptomics consumables. These are scientific research and testing supplies used for laboratory work involving single-cell analysis and spatial transcriptomics. The procurement is for goods supplied to support the Trust's activities in London. The named product range is associated with 10x Genomics, Inc., a supplier based in Bristol. The requirement was treated as a single lot and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The buyer is Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority. The scope is focused on consumable laboratory products rather than installation, consultancy or general laboratory services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award on the basis that 10x Genomics, Inc. was the sole supplier, with technical reasons classified as a single-supplier technical justification. The award date was 20 July 2026. The awarded supplier is 10x Genomics, Inc. The award value is £1,349,776.40 excluding VAT, or £1,619,731.68 including VAT. The contract period is from 3 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a maximum extent date of 2 August 2029. The award includes a 1+1 renewal arrangement. A signature milestone was scheduled for 31 July 2026, and the standstill period ended on 29 July 2026. The award is recorded as pending.

This procurement demonstrates sustained NHS demand for specialist consumables used in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics research. The requirement is closely tied to the 10x Genomics product range, and the buyer justified the direct award on sole-supplier technical grounds. A competitor seeking future work with this buyer would therefore need a credible offering in these specific laboratory technologies, with products that satisfy the relevant technical requirements and integrate into the Trust's research workflows. Suppliers should be able to provide reliable consumables at substantial scale over a multi-year arrangement, support specialist scientific users and demonstrate why their products meet or exceed the technical basis of the requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, although the recorded award went to a specialist SME supplier.
