Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has completed a procurement process for the Seahorse Bioanalyser, a vital instrument in the education sector located in Edinburgh, UK. The contract was awarded to Agilent Technologies LDA UK Ltd on 25 January 2018, following an open procurement method. The purchase, valued at £110,004, is crucial for assessing the metabolic properties of living cells, specifically requiring instruments capable of measuring oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification rates simultaneously. This ensures that they have the necessary technology, protected by patents, for their experiments and research.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced scientific equipment and technology, particularly those focusing on bioanalytical instruments. Companies that can demonstrate innovative solutions, alongside strong technical capabilities in providing unique equipment necessary for biomedical research, would be well positioned to compete. As the contract is associated with a reputable institution in the education sector, potential suppliers may benefit from increased visibility and credibility within the scientific community.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Seahorse Bioanalyser (Hugh Robson)

Notice Description

2. Reg 6(1)(b)(ii) Where the supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier for any of the following reasons: 2. Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists Seahorse XF instruments are the only ones that can simultaneously measures oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of living cells, and do so with unrivalled speed and requiring less material, even than other systems that solely measure OCR. Using these measurements, glycolytic Proton Efflux Rate (PER) is easily calculated as an accurate measurement of glycolysis rates in real time. This measurement technology is covered by US patent # 7,276,351 and other pending patents throughout the world, meaning that no other company can offer this capability. We need this capability to assess the metabolic properties of the cells in our experiments.
