## Summary

The University of Bath is currently seeking tenders for a project titled "GB-Bath: Whole Genome Sequencing", aimed at characterising the genomes of 2,000 isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. This procurement falls under the research and development services category and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, with the tender period ending on 31st October 2019. The contract value ranges from a minimum of £50,000 to a total of £100,000, and the contract is set to commence on 11th November 2019, lasting until 10th May 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) interested in the biotechnology and genomics sectors. Businesses with expertise in bacterial genome sequencing and those equipped with an Illumina sequencing platform are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. As the University of Bath has indicated that they may consider SMEs for this procurement process, it opens up pathways for smaller firms to engage in high-value contracts within the research and development landscape.

## Notice

In order to fully characterise the genomes of 2,000 isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, the University requires a bacterial whole genome sequencing service on an Illumina platform generating paired-end reads with a suitable read length at a minimum coverage of 30x. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
