This procurement falls under the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and support. The delivery of the data system is set to occur from September 2022 to March 2024, following a prior discovery phase that will conclude in September 2022. The project will be based in the UK, and interested parties should stay alert for further details, as the future notice date is anticipated on 11 April 2022. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in software development and data integration. Companies that can design user-friendly platforms and have experience in handling sensitive genomic data will be particularly well-suited for this project. As the tender encompasses the design, development, and deployment of a complex genomic data system, it opens the door for innovation in public health data management and can drive substantial growth for successful bidders in the evolving field of data analysis and biotechnology. ## Notice Tenders will be invited to carry out a pilot project to design and develop a user-friendly platform for the rapid interrogation and archiving of genomic data from human pathogens commonly associated with food. This pilot will build on 'dashboard' approaches to create powerful, but easily understood, interfaces that can be used by decision makers, understanding that different layers of accessibility may need to be developed due to data sensitivities. A key element of the data system development will be allowing the seamless integration of sample data with other existing data sources to create new knowledge. WS1 will be formed of 2 key activities: Discovery activity (April-September 2022) (not part of this tender): Will investigate the preferred pathogens of focus (1-2 pathogens), define the current pathogen data landscape for named pathogen(s) and identify user need. Delivery of the data system (September 2022-March 2024) (open tender): The outputs of the Discovery activity will be provided to the successful supplier for this tender upon completion in September 2022. The proposed work will comprise the design, development, prototyping, initial population and deployment of a genomic data system. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Open tender overview Tenders will be invited to carry out a pilot project to design and develop a user-friendly platform for the rapid interrogation and archiving of genomic data from human pathogens commonly associated with food.
