UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured S-LIMS licences for its Colindale operation. The licences index sequencing runs and associated data, supporting laboratory information management for genomic or laboratory testing activity. The requirement is categorised as laboratory services. The named buyer is a central government public authority, and the work is associated with UKHSA’s site in Colindale, London. The contract title identifies the licensing requirement as covering the 2026/2027 period. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to suppliers of S-LIMS licensing, laboratory information management software, sequencing-data indexing, or related laboratory technology services, particularly those able to support a public health laboratory environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. Agilent Technologies Lda UK Limited was awarded the contract, with the contract signed on 14 July 2026. The active contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £51,337.78 excluding VAT, or £61,605.34 including VAT. The published requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s decision to use a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award covers laboratory services related to the S-LIMS licences and is linked to the completed lot. The recorded supplier is Agilent Technologies Lda UK Limited, based in Cheadle, Cheshire.

This award provides a clear example of UKHSA’s demand for specialist laboratory information-management licensing linked to sequencing data. A future competitor would need credible capability to supply and support S-LIMS licences that index sequencing runs and associated data, with a service model suited to a central-government public health laboratory. Relevant experience would include maintaining reliable laboratory software, handling high-volume or technically complex sequencing information, and supporting users who depend on accurate indexing and retrieval. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate that they can deliver the required licensing and associated laboratory service through a direct-award route where the buyer considers the requirement below threshold and without competition. The incumbent is a large specialist technology supplier.
