This initiative aims to establish a national service and infrastructure to enhance genomic laboratory capabilities across the NHS in England. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement period is open until 23 February 2018. The procurement is classified under the health and social work services category, with mobilisation set to begin in April 2018 and finalisation expected by 1 October 2018. Key market engagement events were scheduled for July 2017 to inform potential bidders about the project. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in genomic technologies and laboratory services, particularly those capable of providing innovative solutions for rare and acquired diseases. Companies involved in high-throughput testing, sequencing services, and health technology integration may find this tender especially suitable. By participating in the subsequent tendering process, businesses can position themselves to engage with NHS initiatives aimed at improving public health outcomes and contribute to advancements in genomic medicine. ## Notice The procurement for a new national genomic laboratory service and infrastructure for the NHS in England is expected to commence in November 2017. Mobilisation is expected to begin in April 2018 and be completed by 1 October 2018. The aim of the procurement is to consolidate and reconfigure existing genetic laboratory services and to create up to 7 genomic laboratory hubs to provide a world class resource in the use of genomic technologies for rare and acquired disease. The new national network of laboratory hubs will provide high quality, standardised and high throughput services that are equitable and cost effective as well as being responsive to rapidly evolving scientific advances. The genomic laboratory hubs will interface with the Whole Genomic Sequencing service, and support the development of the genomic medicine service in the NHS as well as the broader genomic research and innovation agenda. NHS England will be hosting two Market Place Engagement Events in London, on the 25 7 2017 and 27 7 2017, to outline to potential bidders NHS England's current intentions and additional information to that shared at previous events. In addition NHS England has also published a set of genomic laboratory hub requirements in advance of the publication of the full service specification. This is available on the following link https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html. Bidders will need to register on the site to access the document via pqq ref 413. During August bilateral discussions will be held with potential bidders enabling further clarification before issuing the formal single stage Invitation to Tender in November 2017. During September and October further engagement events with potential bidders either bilateral or otherwise may be used to further define the service requirements. To register to attend the Market Place Events bidders must register by contacting Will Wilkins at williamwilkins@nhs.net by 21 7 2017. Please note any queries regarding this notice (other than registering for the market place event) should be made through the bravo message system. Communications by any other means may not be responded to. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb720966-6610-4945-842c-4460072ffd8d | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE1 3QT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Darley | | Westminster constituency | Derby North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2018 at 11:21 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb720966-6610-4945-842c-4460072ffd8d - 23 Jun 2017 at 09:02 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c4f4718-b13d-4335-85f7-5e903fe0c6a8 - 22 Jun 2017 at 15:42 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c4f4718-b13d-4335-85f7-5e903fe0c6a8 - 22 Jun 2017 at 15:33 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c4f4718-b13d-4335-85f7-5e903fe0c6a8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb720966-6610-4945-842c-4460072ffd8d 8th January 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c4f4718-b13d-4335-85f7-5e903fe0c6a8 23rd June 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
