## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) contracted X-Lab Limited to provide its Labgnostic software service for use by UKHSA laboratories in Manchester. Labgnostic is a system-agnostic laboratory exchange network connecting laboratory information systems and other clinical systems. It enables diagnostic laboratories using different systems to exchange test referrals and results digitally and securely through a shared hub. The service is intended to reduce manual transcription of requests, lowering the potential for errors, and to speed access to and transfer of diagnostic information. The requirement is for medical information systems and associated software support, focused on digital connectivity and information exchange between laboratories rather than laboratory testing itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKHSA used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold route. X-Lab Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026, with a base period from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027 and possible extensions of up to two 12-month periods, giving a maximum term to 31 March 2029. The contract is valued at £99,237.95 excluding VAT (£119,085.54 including VAT). It includes an option to increase the value by up to £79,390.36 excluding VAT (£95,268.43 including VAT), within the stated maximum total value. The procurement comprised one lot; no award evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers assessing comparable UKHSA requirements, this award indicates demand for secure, system-independent connections between laboratory information systems and clinical systems, enabling digital exchange of diagnostic referrals and results across laboratories. A credible competitor would need to provide a dependable exchange hub that works across differing systems, supports secure data transfer, reduces the need for manual re-entry and helps laboratories access results promptly. Relevant software support capability is part of the requirement, alongside the core application. The buyer chose a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so the process provides evidence of the route used for this particular contract, not a competitive assessment of alternative suppliers. X-Lab Limited is a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale was selected for the service.

## Notice

The UKHSA has entered into a contract with X-Lab Limited (X-Lab) for the provision of their Labgnostic software application for utilisation by their laboratories at Manchester. Labgnostic is a system-agnostic laboratory exchange network that allows laboratory information systems (LIS) and other clinical systems to connect, share data and test results digitally. It acts as a hub through which any diagnostic laboratory, using any system, can digitally exchange diagnostic test referrals and results securely with any other laboratory connected to the network. The system eliminates the need to manually transcribe requests between systems thereby reducing the potential for manual error. It also increases the speed at which data can be accessed and transferred.
