## Summary

Newcastle University is conducting a procurement process to source laboratory equipment for its ICOS Research Group, part of a project focused on developing Synthetic Biology at the institution. The total value of this tender is approximately £150,000, and it falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment.

The equipment is to be delivered to the North East region of England, notably at the University’s Devonshire Building.

This tender creates ample opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment supply, installation, and related services, particularly those that fall within the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) classification. Suppliers on the designated LUPC-led framework agreement are encouraged to participate, and firms capable of offering competitive pricing and reliable service will stand a good chance of success. Businesses like Scientific Laboratory Supplies Limited and Wolf Laboratories Limited, who have successfully secured contracts from this procurement, exemplify potential collaborators or competitors for this opportunity.
