## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Public Health England, seeks to secure a contract for the provision of Luminex CE marked OEM consumables, specifically for the MAGPIX xPONENT System IVD, supporting the Genomic Expansion Project. The contract, valued at £4,500,000, is classified under diagnostic kits and laboratory reagents, with potential orders from various PHE laboratories, primarily located in Bristol and Cambridge. The procurement method employed is selective, with the contract period extending from 20 September 2021 to 19 September 2023. This contract has been awarded to Luminex Corporation, with an official announcement made on 30 September 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the production and supply of diagnostic kits and laboratory reagents, particularly those that can meet the specific technical requirements of the Luminex consumables. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract especially accessible, given the selective nature of the procurement process, which could encourage competition from those with relevant expertise in IVD technology. Companies looking to expand their footprint in the healthcare and diagnostics industry could greatly benefit from participating in this procurement.

## Notice

Provision of purchase of Luminex consumables which are proprietary to the MAGPIX xPONENT System IVD which supports the Genomic Expansion Project based at various PHE sites across the PHE laboratory network. The required consumables and kits are critical for the SARS-CoV-2 sequencing protocols used by the Genomics Expansion Project. These assays offer the advantage of using a single tube assay, incorporating freeze-dried reagents with long shelf life, to detect 23 respiratory targets whereas competitor multiplex assays will require 4 to 5 multiplexed assays to cover the same range of respiratory targets. In the event of a newly emerging respiratory pathogen, the Luminex assay can quickly incorporate the new target into their repertoire of respiratory pathogens. This is a PHE wide contract, Bristol and Cambridge are currently the main sites for use. However, consumables may be ordered by various laboratories within the Public Health Laboratory network under this contract. The Term may be extended by two (2) further periods of up to 12 months
