This opportunity is classified under goods, specifically involving software packages, with a total estimated value of £10,000. The tender is currently active, with proposals due by 18th March 2019. The service is to be delivered to a location in the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the contract is set to commence on 19th March 2019, continuing until 31st March 2024. The procurement is being conducted through an open procedure, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with expertise in analytical solutions and database management. Companies that offer tailored software solutions for scientific applications are encouraged to participate, as this procurement could lead to a long-term partnership with a reputable agency in the public health sector. The ability to provide innovative and automated systems for data analysis and sample review will be essential for those aiming to compete effectively in this tender. ## Notice The European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC) run by Public Health England (PHE) is the custodian of four unique collections that consist of expertly preserved, authenticated cell lines and microbial strains of known provenance for use in medical science and laboratory healthcare. ECACC maintains and supplies cell lines and their derivatives such as DNA, RNA and cDNA. ECACC has a global reputation as being one of the main distributors of authenticated cell lines. The authentication of human cell lines (which represents 75% of those distributed) is done by a global standard technique known as Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling. The STR profiling is undertaken by an external service provider, who sends ECACC the raw data for analysis. The analysis of data is carried out using Genemapper V.5 software, however the current solution is no longer able to support the unit requirements, as the service provide is moving to Genemapper IDX v1.6. ECCAC is seeking to procure the upgrade to Genemapper V.5 in order to be able to transcribe the data provided by Genemapper IDX software. The solution must be capable of automated genotyping and fragment analysis solution for, amongst other things, generating STR profiles for human cell lines. It must support a multi-user database configuration and provide a set of streamlined data analysis and sample review tools. It also must offer a comprehensive quality value system that enables the customisation and validation for use in both expert system and traditional data analysis workflows.
