## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is conducting a procurement process for a new high-throughput single cell sequencing system, valued at £169,450. This process falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The tender was awarded on 19th May 2021, following an open procedure to select suppliers. The contract period for the system runs from 19th May 2021 until 15th May 2026, with initial procurement planning documented before the tender period ended on 8th March 2021. The location of operation is London, England.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialised in laboratory equipment, particularly those focusing on high-throughput genetic analysis systems. Suppliers of goods that meet the required specifications, including those offering systems compatible with various sample types and quick workflows, will be well-positioned to compete. SMEs with innovative solutions in laboratory technologies may find this an advantageous market to enter or expand within.

## Notice

Agency would like to purchase a new high-throughput platform for single-cell isolation, barcoding, and subsequent analysis via next-generation sequencing on an Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer. The main application will be RNA-Seq and the minimum number of cells processed per run should be >10,000. Quick laboratory workflows and compatibility of the system with a wide range of input samples such as fresh, frozen and fixed, would be beneficial. Consumable costs will be an estimate. Additional information: Consumable costs are an estimate. Actual consumable costs will depend on actual consumable usage.
