Whole Genome Sequencing

UK Biobank requires a sequencing provider that can offer Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) services that meet the requirements outlined in this specification. The key parameters for any bidder are as follows: • There is up to £30m funding available for a vanguard phase of whole genome sequencing; • The scope of the tender is for sequencing (and certain named ancillary) services only; • The sequencing for this vanguard phase should ideally be completed by the end of 2019 (see section 1.2.1 for preferred timetable).
