## Summary

On 15th June 2026, NHS England, a central government authority in London, announced the termination of a contract related to the provision of genomics educational content. Despite the contract's termination status, the notice marks the conclusion of this specific procurement activity, which was originally managed through an open procedure. The procurement process was aimed at bolstering the NHS Genomics Education Programme (GEP), focusing on creating comprehensive educational resources in the rapidly evolving field of genomics. The original contract, valued at £150,000 net, commenced on 12th August 2025 and was set to end by 31st March 2026.

This procurement initiative created opportunities for organisations specialising in educational content development, particularly those with expertise in genomics and healthcare settings. It highlighted the demand for innovative and regularly updated content crucial for enhancing the NHS workforce's knowledge, especially in areas such as rare diseases and cancer. Companies with experience in health services, particularly SMEs capable of aligning with NHS strategies and possessing expertise in genomic medicine, stood well-positioned to partake in this bidding process. Furthermore, the approach allowed for potential contract renewals based on budgetary considerations, affording businesses the opportunity for sustained engagement and growth within the health education sector.

## Notice

The GEP aims to provide a national hub for professional education in genomics in the NHS. Written content is core to most, if not all, our educational resources. As such, throughout the year, we are required to produce and maintain large volumes of written content in order to reach our target audience and successfully educate and inform. In addition to the production of new content, which is necessary if we are to continue to expand our audience and reach the professional groups we are tasked with reaching, there is also a requirement to review and revise existing content to make sure that it is up-to-date and remains fit for purpose. Genomics is a rapidly developing field, with NHS England's national genomic test directory being updated several times a year. As a result, our content must be updated regularly to ensure we provide accurate educational material that the NHS workforce can trust. Genomics education is an essential element of the NHS's strategy for improving patient care, particularly around rare disease and cancer. Training needs analyses conducted by the GEP and our stakeholders demonstrate that educational interventions are needed to address identified gaps in knowledge. To produce this content, a combination of specialist skills and knowledge in genomic medicine and testing in a healthcare setting, aligned specifically to government and NHS strategies, in addition to understanding of educational best practice, are essential - and not always available within NHS England at the capacity required.
