INHERITED CANCER GENETICS

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board intends to award a contract for the provision of outsourced inherited cancer genetic testing services to a single supplier.This service is critical to supporting the All Wales Medical Genomics Service (AWMGS), ensuring continued access to timely and accurate diagnostic testing across Wales.

Ongoing capacity constraints within in-house laboratory services, combined with sustained clinical demand, require the continuation of outsourced provision to maintain turnaround times and support patient care pathways.The selected supplier is already embedded within the service and has demonstrated the capability and capacity to deliver the required testing to the necessary quality standards.

Maintaining this arrangement ensures continuity of service and avoids disruption to established clinical pathways.Introducing an alternative supplier at this stage would present significant operational and clinical risks, including delays to patient diagnosis, disruption to workflows, and additional onboarding and validation requirements.Awarding to a sole supplier is therefore considered necessary to ensure continuity of critical services, protect patient safety, and support ongoing service delivery.

Free to start. Named contacts come from published notices; the strategy is generated from the buyer’s news, accounts and people.
