Genomics England also has a responsibility to manage the wider operational and delivery risk of not being able to secure this services in a timely manner.\nUnder the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR), authorities can reduce the minimum timescales for the open procedure, the restricted procedure and the competitive procedure with negotiation if a state of urgency renders the standard timescales impracticable. The minimum time limits vary. For procurements under the open procedure, timescales can be reduced to 15 days for receipt of tenders plus the minimum 10 days for the standstill period."
