    Brief

    The Genetics Laboratory is seeking to modernize how it manages equipment procurement, maintenance, consumables, and inventory across its genomic testing operations. Currently handled through a combination of scientific, technical, procurement and support staff, this model has supported significant growth but faces mounting challenges including: increasing complexity of genomic technologies; managing multiple equipment service and maintenance contracts; implementing sophisticated inventory management; ensuring service resilience and business continuity; reducing non-core operational burdens on laboratory staff; maintaining regulatory compliance during service expansion; and planning long-term capital replacement for a diverse equipment portfolio. The contracting authority is conducting a strategic review to explore whether a Managed Equipment Service (MES) model could deliver operational efficiencies, financial benefits, and strategic advantages while maintaining full clinical, scientific, and regulatory oversight. Current baseline expenditure for equipment, consumables, and support services is approximately £12 million annually. This is a preliminary market engagement notice (UK2) to help shape future requirements, with scope, commercial structure, and delivery models to be defined through supplier engagement. Interested suppliers should have expertise in laboratory equipment management, genomic technology services, inventory optimization, compliance support, and service resilience planning.
