This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The University Of Edinburgh has completed a procurement process for the provision of long-range proximity ligation and sequencing of Black soldier fly genomic libraries. The University is located in Edinburgh, UK, and the tender falls under the "Education" industry category. The procurement method was a limited procedure with an award made without prior publication of a call for competition. The key date for this tender was the signing of the contract on 22nd December 2022.

This tender presents an opportunity particularly for businesses specializing in genomic sequencing and bioinformatics services. The tender was awarded to Cantata Bio, LLC, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), due to the company's unique capabilities in combining PacBio HiFi de-novo long-read genome sequencing and Omni-C chromosome conformation capture. Businesses offering similar specialized techniques at scale could compete in similar procurement processes in the future within the services category.
