Trusted Research Environment (TRE)

Description

As part of 100,000 Genome Project, Genomics England Limited (“Genomics England”) established a secure research environment targeting the following outcomes: - Beneficial clinical outcomes for patients - Reduction in the systemic cost of care - New scientific insights and discovery - Accelerating the uptake of genomic medicine in the National Health Service (“NHS”). - Stimulating and enhancing UK industry and investment - Increasing public knowledge and support for genomic medicine. In order to deliver on this vision, GEL is looking to partner with an organisation that is able to provide a cloud-based platform for researchers to efficiently carry out their clinico-genomic analyses within GEL’s secure infrastructure. Lot 1: Key deliverables of the project are: Technology • Software and infrastructure that meet functional, security, governance, capacity and performance requirements of the Research Environment. • Technology providing the usability, availability, accessibility, flexibility, interoperability and scalability required by both academic and commercial users. Policy and Process • Solutions that drive a standardised approach to data governance, consent practises, data release and other relevant policies and processes. • Solutions that enable effective management of data quality. • Policies and processes that enable users to work securely, efficiently and effectively in the Research Environment. • Tools and processes that tightly control transfers into and out of the environment. People • Staff appropriately skilled to implement, maintain and support the required research environment. • Documentation and training necessary to ensure Genomics England have the skills and knowledge required to maintains the environment.
