## Summary

NHS England is currently planning a procurement process for the "NHS England - Genomic Laboratory Services" project, focusing on the health and social work services sector. The buying organisation, NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, is based in Derby, England. The engagement phase is set to conclude on 23rd February 2018, with an initial market engagement notice published on 8th January 2018. The procurement aims to establish a world-class genetic and genomic laboratory service for the NHS, including the provision of genomic testing for patients with genetic disorders. Interested parties were invited to two Market Place Engagement Events in London in November 2016 to further explore this initiative.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in genomic technologies, laboratory services, and healthcare infrastructure. Companies that are well-suited to compete in this tender include those with experience in delivering high-quality laboratory services and innovations in genetic testing. As the procurement aims to enhance NHS services through state-of-the-art facilities and expertise, businesses capable of providing flexible and equitable genomic solutions may find valuable prospects for growth and collaboration with the NHS.

## Notice

The procurement for a new genetic and genomic laboratory service and infrastructure for the NHS in England will commence in November 2016. The aim of the procurement is to create a world class resource in the use of genetic and genomic technologies within the NHS, and the provision of high quality, equitable and cost effective services. The procurement will include the provision of genomic testing for patients with, or at risk of, inherited disorders and sporadic genetic disorders, for NHS England. The model of future provision will encompass Genomic Central Laboratory Hubs, providing state of the art facilities with specialist skills and expertise who will be expected to work with Genomic Local Laboratory Hubs (local laboratory service providers). NHS England is planning to hold two Market Place Engagement Events in London, one on the 4 November 2016 and the other on 28 November 2016 to outline to potential bidders NHS England's ambitions for patients linked to the new laboratory service and infrastructure. Organisations wishing to attend the Market Place Engagement Events are requested to contact Neelam Saroe on 07342 060658 or neelam.saroe@ardengemcsu.nhs.uk advising of the date on which you wish to attend and the names of your representatives. Details regarding lotting structures will be outlined at the market engagement event. Please note that the deadline for registering your attendance is 17:00 on 28.10.2016. Any procurement which results from this review will be published as a formal call for competition and the publication of this notice does not commit NHS England to undertake any procurement.
