## Summary

Newcastle University is inviting bids for a tender titled "(NU/1840) The Supply and Installation of a Long-Read Single-Molecule Sequencing Platform for Scalable Genomics, Transcriptomic, Epigenomic and Single-Cell Analysis" in the laboratory, optical and precision equipment industry category. The procurement stage is currently active with a tender period ending on 22nd December 2022 and a contract period from 4th January 2023 to 22nd November 2027. The total contract value is £350,000 in GBP, and the procurement method is an open procedure.

This tender opportunity by Newcastle University for a genomics sequencing platform presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the laboratory equipment installation services sector. Companies experienced in providing high-throughput, scalable sequencing technologies with long-read capabilities would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract involves the supply, installation, training, maintenance, and servicing cover for a specialised sequencing platform that will support cutting-edge research programmes.

## Notice

The Genomics Core Facility (GCF), within Newcastle University, is a state-of-the-art Next-Generation Sequencing laboratory that specialises in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics applications and supports a wide range of sequencing-based research within the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS) and beyond. The sequencing technology currently available within the facility is based on a clonally amplified short-read approach. As part of an MRC equipment award the University are seeking to purchase a high-throughput, scalable, long-read single-molecule sequencer. The scope of the contract is for the supply of the equipment and proprietary consumables, delivery, installation, training, 4 years of maintenance and servicing cover to begin once the 12-month warranty period has expired and proprietary consumables for 5 years post installation (to be purchased as and when required). The sequencer will be operated by dedicated and experienced NGS staff and will play a central role in large-scale discovery and translational research programmes involving genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic and single cell analysis.
