SWGMS Genomics Laboratory Information Management System (GLIMS)
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This is a large award for IT Services — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 36,449 valued IT Services tenders in our corpus.
Bristol and Weston Purchasing Consortium ("BWPC") on behalf of the Authority North Bristol NHS Trust ("NBT") are submitting a Tender Notice for the replacement of the Genomics Laboratory Information Management Systems ("GLIMS") at NBT and Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust ("RDUH").
Both Trusts are responsible for the provision of genomic testing on behalf of the South-West Genomic Medicine Service ("SWGMS").
The current LIMS platforms at both NBT and RDUH are 15 years old and do not support the level of integration, scalability, or interoperability required to meet the SWGMS future needs.
The aim is to deliver a future-ready digital platform with regional integration capability, aligned with the NHS England (NHSE) Genomic Medicine Service strategy, supporting the delivery of interoperable, scalable, and efficient genomic services and the ambitions for genomic medicine outlined in the 10-year plan.
NBT are therefore seeking a strategic GLIMS partner capable of supporting an integrated, multi-site, high-throughput genomic service.
The scope of the procurement includes the provision, implementation, configuration, and ongoing support of a GLIMS to support SWGMS laboratory services across both in-scope sites.
This includes core laboratory workflow management, sample tracking, test ordering, results management, reporting, audit, quality management support, and administration.
The scope also includes system hosting (where applicable), system integration, data migration from legacy systems, training, change management support, and business-as-usual support services.
