UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured an Illumina MiSeq i100 System sequencing kit for the SMCL laboratory. The requirement is for a 25M, 300-cycle run, supporting genomic or laboratory sample sequencing and associated analysis. The purchase is categorised as goods and classified under CPV 38432000, analysis apparatus. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for the Trust’s Cambridge operations. This is a focused supply requirement rather than a broad laboratory services contract: relevant businesses are manufacturers, distributors or specialist suppliers of Illumina MiSeq i100 consumables and compatible sequencing equipment. The named public-sector buyer is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold tender route; the published method detail describes it as “below threshold - unknown”. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to University of Cambridge - UBS, and the contract was signed on 1 August 2026. It runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 November 2026. The contract value is £17,304 excluding VAT, or £20,764.80 including VAT. The award covers the single sequencing-kit requirement described above. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and active contract; the procurement record does not set out an award scoring breakdown or separate evaluation weighting.

This procurement indicates a specific Cambridge demand for Illumina MiSeq i100 sequencing consumables, configured for a 25M read run and 300 cycles. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to genuine, compatible Illumina products, confidence in specifying the correct kit configuration, and the ability to supply laboratory goods accurately to Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Experience supporting clinical, university or research laboratories would help demonstrate understanding of sequencing workflows, handling requirements and continuity of supply. Suppliers should also be able to meet public-sector purchasing requirements and provide clear product identification, pricing and delivery arrangements. The relatively focused requirement suits specialist life-sciences distributors and equipment suppliers rather than general laboratory consumables businesses.
