This procurement is classified under the IT services category, with a total value of £2,300,000, and is currently in the open procurement stage. The tender deadline for submissions is set for 16th May 2022, with the contract expected to run from 1st September 2022 to 31st March 2024. All submissions must be completed electronically through the designated platform. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, software development, and data system integration. Companies that excel in creating intuitive user interfaces and integrating various data sources to enhance decision-making processes, particularly in the health and food safety sectors, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The emphasis on delivering actionable insights for food inspectors and healthcare professionals indicates a market opportunity for innovative solutions that improve public health outcomes. ## Notice Tenders are 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. Provisional pathogens of interest include Salmonella, Campylobacter, pathogenic E. coli and Norovirus. Discovery work will investigate the preferred pathogens of focus (1-2 pathogens). This pilot will build on 'dashboard' approaches (such as those developed for Covid-19 monitoring) to create powerful, but easily understood, interfaces that can be used by decision makers (e.g., food inspectors or healthcare professionals). A key element of the data system development will be allowing the seamless integration of sample data with other existing data sources (e.g., infection data, meteorological data) to create new knowledge. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Tenders are 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.
