Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has completed a procurement process for the purchase of reagents from 10X Genomics Inc. for the Centre for Cardiovascular Science. The procurement falls under the education industry category and the relevant location is Edinburgh, UK, specifically the University's facility within the Centre for Regenerative Medicine. The process was carried out using the 'limited' procurement method, specifically involving an award procedure without prior publication due to the exclusivity of 10X Genomics as the manufacturer. The contract was signed on 1st July 2025, with an active status and a total value of £98,285.50. This was a non-competitive tender stage as no other suppliers could provide the necessary goods due to technical reasons, as noted in the procurement rationale. The procurement is part of the Goods category and was covered by the GPA (Government Procurement Agreement).

This procurement provides insight into opportunities specifically in technologically advanced and niche markets, where exclusivity can be a significant factor. Businesses involved in supplying highly specialised scientific equipment or materials may find similar opportunities for growth in collaborations with research-centric organisations like universities. Companies that are exclusive manufacturers or sole suppliers for unique and innovative products can benefit substantially from such non-competitive tenders, reinforcing the importance of maintaining technological leadership and uniqueness in product offerings to capture similar contracts.
