UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has contracted for Labgnostic, a laboratory software and support service, for use by its laboratories at Colindale and Porton. Labgnostic is a system-independent digital exchange network linking laboratory information systems and other clinical systems. It enables connected diagnostic laboratories to securely exchange test referrals and results, including between laboratories using different systems. The service is intended to reduce manual transcription of requests, lowering the risk of errors, and to make diagnostic data faster to access and transfer. The work is delivered for UKHSA laboratories at Colindale and Porton in the UK.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to X-Lab Limited. UKHSA used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with possible extensions of up to two 12-month periods, to a maximum term ending 31 March 2029. The maximum contract value is £50,809.82 excluding VAT (£60,971.78 including VAT); this includes an option to increase the value by up to £40,647.86 excluding VAT (£48,777.43 including VAT). The requirement was treated as one lot. The published procurement data does not state separate award criteria.

For suppliers seeking similar UKHSA work, this award shows demand for laboratory connectivity software that can bridge different laboratory information and clinical systems, securely exchange diagnostic referrals and results, and support faster access to data while reducing manual handling and transcription errors. A credible competitor would need a product that works across system types and can be deployed for laboratory use at both Colindale and Porton, together with the technical capability to maintain and support the software service. X-Lab Limited, an SME, was selected through a direct award without competition, so the outcome also illustrates the buyer’s chosen route for this particular requirement. Suppliers with a comparable, interoperable laboratory exchange service and relevant implementation and support capability are closest to the demand evidenced here.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Labgnostic Services Agreement - Colindale and Porton

Notice Description

The UKHSA has entered into a contract with X-Lab Limited (X-Lab) for the provision of their Labgnostic software application for utilisation by their laboratories at Colindale and Porton. Labgnostic is a system-agnostic laboratory exchange network that allows laboratory information systems (LIS) and other clinical systems to connect, share data and test results digitally. It acts as a hub through which any diagnostic laboratory, using any system, can digitally exchange diagnostic test referrals and results securely with any other laboratory connected to the network. The system eliminates the need to manually transcribe requests between systems thereby reducing the potential for manual error. It also increases the speed at which data can be accessed and transferred.
