Summary of the contracting process

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) has successfully completed a procurement process for a High Throughput Sequencer. This tender falls under the goods category with a focus on Laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The procurement method used was an Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The identified supplier is ISN Products (Nig.) Ltd, based in Nigeria. The total contract value amounts to $917,617.12 USD, and the contract was signed on the 28th of February 2023 in The Gambia.

This tender for the High Throughput Sequencer presents an opportunity for businesses involved in supplying medical equipment to enter into engagements with LSHTM. The LSHTM believes that the technical requirements for this sequencing platform can only be met by one specific supplier. Hence, businesses with expertise in providing Illumina products, particularly in the Gambia region, would be well-suited to compete. The sequencer's capabilities offer wide applications such as whole genome sequencing, methylation sequencing, gene expression profiling, and metagenomics, providing a range of business growth prospects for suppliers.

Procurement Information

LSHTM believes that the technical requirements of the high throughput next generation sequencing platform can only be met by one known supplier. There are no other competing systems on the market with anything approaching this capacity. The instrument performs whole genome sequencing efficiently and cost effectively. In addition to whole genome sequencing, it can be used for a variety of other applications including but not limited to methylation sequencing, population studies, De novo sequencing, gene expression profiling, metagenomics etc. The instrument has a scalable throughput for dynamic study sizes with an output range of 6TB to 20B reads in less than 2 days. It is able to sequence deeply for clear answers to research questions. The flexibility of the instrument allows users to mix and match flow cell types as well as choose between multiple read lengths, workflows and many more. The different DRAGEN pipelines are able to analyse generated data within a very short period of time thereby helping with the data analysis bottleneck and lack of bioinformaticians. The NovaSeq 6000 System combines unmatched system output with rapid run times to deliver the highest daily throughput of any NGS system currently available. ISN Products (Nig.) Ltd are the approved distributor for Illumina products in the region (Gambia).
