    Brief

    Cefas is establishing a multi-lot framework to procure Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) services for genomics research programmes. The framework comprises 4 specialised lots: Lot 1 covers targeted sequencing (amplicon, metabarcoding, library enrichment); Lot 2 provides whole genome, metagenomic and transcriptomic sequencing; Lot 3 offers long-read sequencing using PacBio or Oxford Nanopore Technologies; and Lot 4 handles ad-hoc requests for unique or proprietary sequencing technologies. Suppliers may bid for any combination of lots and up to 5 contracts will be awarded per lot based on technical and pricing criteria. The framework runs for 3 years from August 2026, with optional extensions of up to 2 additional 12-month periods. Prices are fixed for the initial 3-year term and may increase annually with CPI if extended. Call-offs will be made for individual project requirements through a mini-competition process.
