This tender falls under the goods category, specifically laboratory reagents, and is based in Cardiff, UK. Currently in the Tender stage, the process is open and active, with submissions due by 13th September 2021. The total estimated value of the contract is £450,000, with a primary duration of two years and the option to extend for a further three years at annual intervals. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory reagents and genomic sequencing services to engage with the health sector in Wales. Companies that offer innovative solutions in genetic testing, particularly those with experience in the NHS frameworks, will be well-positioned to compete. As the initiative aims to enhance precision medicine services within NHS Wales, businesses that can demonstrate compliance with NHS standards and provide robust technical capabilities in exome sequencing are encouraged to apply. ## 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 (3) 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 (3) 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/019578-2021 | | 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 | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019578-2021 ## 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 - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=113181 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
