## Summary

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust bought next-generation sequencing reagents and consumables for its existing Illumina MiSeq next-generation sequencing platform. The supplies must be technically compatible with the Trust’s MiSeq equipment and established laboratory workflows, supporting the operation of its laboratory sequencing activities. The requirement is for medical equipment and related consumables rather than installation, construction or a general laboratory supply service. Delivery and use are associated with the Trust’s facilities in London. The procurement covers one requirement for the sequencing platform, with the specification shaped by the need to maintain standardisation, validated processes and interoperability with the existing equipment. Suppliers serving clinical laboratories, genomic testing services and sequencing platforms should note that compatibility with Illumina MiSeq systems is central to the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award. ILLUMINA CAMBRIDGE LIMITED was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 1 September 2026. Its value is £156,200.91 excluding VAT and £187,441.09 including VAT. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 15 September 2027. The direct award was justified on technical grounds: the Trust’s existing Illumina MiSeq platform and established laboratory workflows require compatible reagents, with standardisation, validation and interoperability requirements meaning that no reasonable alternative or substitute was identified. The award is above the relevant threshold, and the procurement used a single-supplier technical-reasons rationale. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 15 September 2026.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for sequencing reagents and consumables tied to an installed Illumina MiSeq platform. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would need to provide products that are technically compatible with MiSeq equipment and can be incorporated into established laboratory workflows without disrupting validated processes. Credibility would depend on demonstrating reliable interoperability, consistent product performance and the ability to support standardised clinical or laboratory operations. Relevant businesses are likely to be manufacturers or specialist distributors of next-generation sequencing reagents and consumables, with experience supplying genomic laboratories and supporting platform-specific requirements. The single-supplier technical rationale also shows that evidence of compatibility, validation and continuity would be central to competing when this buyer’s requirement is next considered.
