## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Newcastle University, involves the tender for the supply and installation of a Digital PCR System, a Real-Time PCR System, and two Thermocyclers. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) equipment, with an estimated value of £120,000. The tender was published on 2nd December 2015 and is active, although the tender period ended on 25th November 2015. The equipment is intended for use within the Newcastle University Single Cell Functional Genomics Unit, based in Newcastle, North East England, and will be crucial for advanced genomic research.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced scientific equipment and technology, particularly those involved in laboratory supplies, biotechnology innovations, or genomic research solutions. Companies capable of providing high-quality PCR equipment and installation services would be well-suited to compete for this contract, allowing them to establish relationships with a prominent educational institution and potentially expand their market presence in the thriving biotechnology sector.

## Notice

The proposed digital and real-time PCR systems and two thermocyclers will be used within the Newcastle University Single Cell Functional Genomics Unit (NUSCU), a faculty wide facility based within the FMS, fulfilling a central role in single cell research as well as a wider role as a core facility platform. This equipment will be used to validate discoveries from next-generation sequencing experiments as well as for biomarker discovery / screening in cases that necessitate reporting of e.g. absolute quantification of rare alleles or precise copy number variation.
