## Summary

The NHS Shared Services Partnership, acting on behalf of the Cardiff & Vale University local Health Board, has completed a tender process for "Kits for DNA Extraction". This procurement, classified under medical consumables in the goods category, involved the delivery of kits for a Chemagic Star Robot located at the Institute of Medical Genetics in Cardiff, UK. The procurement was executed using a limited method without prior publication, with the contract value amounting to £160,000. Key dates include the contract signing on 19 March 2021, with an active status and a minimum 10-day standstill period announced before the contract was awarded.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical consumables, particularly those focusing on DNA extraction technologies. Given that only Perkin Elmer was allowed to supply the necessary kits for the Chemagic Star, businesses with proven capabilities in similar products have the potential to expand their market presence by offering competitive alternatives in future procurement processes. This could benefit both established companies and innovative smaller enterprises seeking to enter the medical supplies market.
