The software supports the health services delivered by the health board and is described as being used by NHS laboratories across the UK. This is a purchase of software licences rather than a software development or general IT services contract. Delivery is associated with Glasgow. The products are supplied by SoftGenetics, the software publisher named in the procurement. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SoftGenetics. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde used a limited procedure without a prior competition, on the stated grounds that the software is highly specialist, central to its services and that no alternative solution was known to meet its requirements. One bid was recorded. The contract, for the two-year licences, is valued at £50,850. It was signed on 29 September 2026 and is recorded as active. The available award information does not give a separate award date or contract start and end dates. This award demonstrates a continuing NHS requirement for specialist genetics-analysis software, with GeneMarker and Mutation Surveyor selected for work central to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s services. For suppliers competing for a comparable requirement in this market, credibility would depend on proving that their software meets the specialist laboratory analysis needs and can perform the functions for which the buyer relies on these products. The buyer cited its view that the software is used by NHS laboratories across the UK and that it knew of no alternative capable of meeting its requirements. Competing products would therefore need compelling evidence of equivalent technical capability and suitability for NHS laboratory workflows. This was a software-licensing purchase, so relevant suppliers are specialist genetics software providers rather than general IT contractors. ## Notice Procurement of 2 year licences of specialist genetics analysis software (GeneMarker and Mutation Surveyor) from SoftGenetics ### Lot Information Lot 1 Procurement of 2 year licences of specialist genetics analysis software (GeneMarker and Mutation Surveyor.
