Summary of the contracting process
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has been engaged in the procurement process for the Outsourcing of Genetic Testing, essential for addressing backlog in genetic testing due to the relocation of the All Wales Genomics Laboratory Service (AWMGS) to Cardiff Edge. This initiative aligns with strengthening long-term service capacity and innovation.
The contracting authority, supported by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, has awarded the contract through a direct award method to SNB Diagnostics Globales S.A.U. The awarding stage is completed, and the contract period runs from 1st December 2025 to 30th May 2026. This procurement falls under the industry category of medical laboratories with direct services provided across Wales, as defined for CPV code 85145000.
The procurement is governed by the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54, ensuring compliance with Welsh devolved regulations. Further announcements and documents related to this procurement were made available in late November and early December 2025. The successful provision relies on integrating validated processes between the supplier and AWMGS, making expertise in bespoke genetic testing protocols highly valuable.
This strategic partnership underscores the importance of adaptability and performance within specified regulatory and clinical parameters throughout Wales.
The notice in full
Following the relocation of the All Wales Genomics Laboratory Service (AWMGS) to Cardiff Edge--a strategic move designed to strengthen long-term service capacity and foster innovation--the service has experienced a significant backlog of genetic tests.This backlog has arisen due to the complexities involved in transitioning laboratory operations, revalidating testing protocols, and managing sustained growth in clinical demand across Wales.Although progress has been made in stabilising operations since the move, current in-house capacity remains insufficient to consistently meet the turnaround times required for timely, accurate, and equitable patient diagnosis.
To reduce the risk of delayed diagnoses and potential impacts on patient outcomes, it is necessary to continue outsourcing genetic testing to SNB Diagnostics Globales S.A.U until April 2026.This extension will allow AWMGS to recover operationally, maintain continuity of service delivery, uphold clinical standards, and ensure that patients across Wales have fair and timely access to essential genetic testing services.Failure to maintain this outsourced provision would place the laboratory in an unrecoverable operational position, with serious consequences for service resilience and patient care.
