Notice Title

Term Contract for the Supply of BDT to MRC-PPU, School of Life Sciences

Notice Description

Term Contract for the Supply of Big Dye and Terminator on a call-off basis to MRC-PPU, University of Dundee.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Single Source Term Contract (2 + 2, subject to satisfactory performance and ongoing need)) for the Supply of Big Dye and associated Big Dye T product to MRC-PPU. Required in order to ensure continuity and consistency of sequencing results.

Procurement Information

The Sequencing Facility in MRC-PPU has rightly aggregated their requirement for Big Dye and Big Dye T over a 4 year period, with an overall estimated total value of 100000 GBP. Whilst alternative products are available from other suppliers, ThermoFisher is the market leader. MRC-PPU previously investigated the alternatives; these offered only a very small saving and therefore were viewed as a false economy. They therefore want to award a 4 year contract to ThermoFisher in order to ensure continuity and consistency of supply and therefore results.
