This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on laboratory reagents, and is intended for the All Wales Genomics Laboratory in Cardiff. The procurement process is open, with a submission deadline on 14 June 2021. The project aims to enhance clinical exome sequencing services and supports the Welsh Government's strategy for precision medicine by introducing whole exome sequencing capabilities for a contract period of two years, with an option to extend for an additional three years. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory reagents and sequencing technologies. Companies that can provide innovative library preparation solutions, especially those aligned with the requirements of the NHS England National Genomic Test Directory, would be particularly well-suited to participate. With the rising demand for precision medicine, this contract not only contributes to advancing healthcare services within NHS Wales but also offers future-focused firms a chance to establish valuable partnerships and expand their market presence. ## Notice The All Wales Genomics Laboratory (AWGL) is seeking a library preparation solution for whole exome sequencing (WES) for a period of two (2) years with the option to extend for a further three years at annual intervals. Presently, AWGL delivers clinical exome sequencing using DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples via a next generation sequencing panel (TruSight One). In order to meet clinical requirements, enable the development of precision medicine services within NHS Wales and allow effective use of capital investment there is a requirement to introduce whole exome sequencing for detection of exonic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The All Wales Genomics Laboratory (AWGL) is seeking a library preparation solution for whole exome sequencing (WES) for a period of two (2) years with the option to extend for a further three years at annual intervals. Presently, AWGL delivers clinical exome sequencing using DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples via a next generation sequencing panel (TruSight One). In order to meet clinical requirements, enable the development of precision medicine services within NHS Wales and allow effective use of capital investment there is a requirement to introduce whole exome sequencing for detection of exonic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels. The expansion of clinical exome sequencing to whole exome sequencing is stated as one of the priorities in the Welsh Government 'Genomics for Precision Medicine' Strategy, which was published in 2017. To ensure all resources in AWGL are utilised effectively, all library preparation, sequencing, data processing and analysis will be performed by AWGL on Cardiff & Vale University Health Board premises. The WES solution must be capable of allowing implementation of the gene panels and WES based services described in the NHS England National Genomic Test Directory. Whilst Wales is a devolved nation with a devolved health system, this will allow AWGL to evolve their services in line with the Test Directory for rare and inherited disease if and when necessary. Renewal: The primary contract is for a period of 24 months but will include the option to extend for a period of 36 months in annual intervals. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019577-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Aug 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £450,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Unsuccessful | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP-PROCUREMENT SERVICES (HOSTED BY VELINDRE UNIVERSITY NHS TRUST) | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF14 4HH | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Heath | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff North | | Delivery location | TLL22 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33696500 - Laboratory reagents ## Release History - 12 Aug 2021 at 11:25 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019577-2021 - 12 May 2021 at 15:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010456-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - http://www.etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0221 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
