UKHSA awards Labgnostic software contract to X-Lab Limited

Tender information last checkedLast checked 15 Oct 2026, 14:01.

Opportunity overview

The UKHSA has entered into a contract with X-Lab Limited (X-Lab) for the provision of their Labgnostic software application for utilisation by their laboratories at Manchester. Labgnostic is a system-agnostic laboratory exchange network that allows laboratory information systems (LIS) and other clinical systems to connect, share data and test results digitally. It acts as a hub through which any diagnostic laboratory, using any system, can digitally exchange diagnostic test referrals and results securely with any other laboratory connected to the network. The system eliminates the need to manually transcribe requests between systems thereby reducing the potential for manual error. It also increases the speed at which data can be accessed and transferred.
