This process is currently at the planning stage and aims to complete a Direct Award to the Association for Clinical Biochemistry & Laboratory Medicine (ACB) with a financial envelope of £485,000. The tender period concludes at midday on 21 February 2022, with the award period starting on 1 March 2022. The course targets senior clinicians and scientists, intended to advance knowledge in Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those with expertise in clinical science and laboratory medicine. Companies that can deliver comprehensive training in genome sequencing and related technologies would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given ACB's unique standing in the industry, other suppliers would need to demonstrate exceptional capability and experience to meet the requirements set forth by HEE, thus creating a niche for expert providers in this specialised field of health education. ## Notice Health Education England (HEE - the Commissioner) are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award to Association for Clinical Biochemistry & Laboratory Medicine ### Lot Information Lot 1 Health Education England are putting out this notice as a PIN (Prior Information Notice) with a view to completing a Direct Award to Association for Clinical Biochemistry & Laboratory Medicine (ACB).
