Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde procured a cloud-hosted genomic analysis software solution for clinical use in Glasgow. The software enables clinical scientists to investigate, interpret and classify genomic variants identified from next-generation sequencing data, supporting patient diagnosis and treatment. This is specialist clinical genomics software rather than general-purpose IT or sequencing laboratory services. The procurement covered one requirement for the software solution, with delivery in the Glasgow area. The buying organisation is NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, which provides the health service context for the requirement. The software is intended to support clinical scientists’ work with genomic data and its application to patient care.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Congenica Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 2 September 2026, at a value of £24,258.72. The award followed a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The buyer’s stated rationale was the software’s specialist nature, the complexity of requirements and the significant validation effort involved in replacing it; the procurement was intended as a short-term extension to maintain clinical service. The buyer stated that a procurement process would be undertaken before the end of the six-month extension. One lot was awarded. The procurement record reports one bid. No award date or contract end date is recorded in the supplied details.

For suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement next reaches the market, the relevant capability is a software-as-a-service genomic analysis solution that can work with next-generation sequencing data and help clinical scientists investigate, interpret and classify variants for diagnosis and treatment. This is a specialist clinical application, not simply a general analytics platform. The buyer’s rationale highlights the complexity of requirements and the substantial validation effort involved in replacing the existing solution. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate that its software can meet the clinical workflow and technical needs, and support the validation needed for safe adoption while maintaining clinical service. Experience delivering genomic analysis software in a healthcare setting would be directly relevant.
