This initiative falls within the health technology industry and aims to enhance genomic investigations, focusing on both cancer and diversity participant samples. The tender is currently in the award stage, with submissions due by 7th March 2022. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2022 and will run until 31st March 2023. The total value of the procurement is set at £4,000,000, and it is classified under CPV code 33696500 for laboratory reagents, with deliveries expected at locations including Hinxton, Cambridge in the UK. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, laboratory consumables, and technological support services within genomics and health sectors. Companies that provide long-read sequencing technology and consumables, along with research support in genomic analysis, will be well-positioned to compete. The open procurement method allows various suppliers to submit their bids, catering to firms looking to engage in meaningful contributions to cancer diagnostics and enhanced patient care through advanced genomic sequencing capabilities. ## Notice The supply of instruments and consumables that provides a solution to enable investigations into methylation (5mC,5hmC), structural variant calling, copy number variant analysis and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) detection, using native DNA sequencing for up to 3000 Diversity participant samples and 1000 Cancer participant samples. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Genomics England (GEL) wants to explore long-read and methylation sequencing in cancer within the NHS and accurately to sequence genomes of under-represented and diverse ancestries with a view that this novel technology could open opportunities to identify not only known genomic features and aberrations but also those that are currently unidentifiable using existing sequencing technologies. This could facilitate immediate returns in diagnostic value to the NHS and reaping more meaningful rewards in the near future through more thorough analysis of the whole genome. Long-read analytical methods are still in their infancy, GEL is building a knowledge hub around the trusted research environment for individuals to train their methods; in turn these methods feed into the clinical pipeline of the future. Nurturing the research environment will permit the discovery of new diagnostic and prognostic markers as well as potential new targets for drug discovery to benefit patients in the future. GEL has a requirement to purchase Long Read sequencing technology to fulfil its needs in relation to the Cancer and Diversity Programmes. The requirement is to provide sufficient sequencing instruments and necessary consumables and kit to meet the current and forecasted need at GEL's Hinxton Lab and at 3 GLH sites for FY 22/23. The requirement also includes appropriate support & maintenance and licenses required for operation. The anticipated forecast is set at 3000 Diversity participant samples and 1000 Cancer participant samples in this period. There will be an optional requirement within the contract to provide sufficient instruments and consumables for up to a further 1000 Diversity participants and 500 Cancer participants to meet additional unplanned demand. There is no guarantee or warranty that the optional requirements will be purchased and tender responses relating to such optional requirements will not be evaluated. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003340-2022 | | 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 | 5 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 7 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,000,000 | | Lots value | £4,000,000 | | 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 | GENOMICS ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC1M 6BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Bunhill | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 33140000 - Medical consumables - 33190000 - Miscellaneous medical devices and products - 33696200 - Blood-testing reagents - 33696500 - Laboratory reagents - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 5 Feb 2022 at 22:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003340-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.genomicsengland.co.uk - https://genomicsengland.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
