## Summary

The procurement process for the "Qaunt Studio 6 PCR System" has been completed by the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology, a key player in environmental research based in Wallingford, England. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically involving Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) equipment, with a total contract value of £43,137. The tender was initiated as a single tender action below threshold, with the contract period running from 22nd November 2020 to 10th December 2020. The award notice for this contract was published on 24th March 2021, detailing the successful supplier as Fisher Scientific U.K., Limited.

This opportunity highlights a significant potential for businesses engaged in the supply of specialised scientific equipment and related technologies. Companies that offer PCR instruments or compatible laboratory solutions are well-positioned to compete in future similar tenders. With increasing needs for data comparability in collaborative research projects, suppliers that can ensure compatibility with existing laboratory systems will have a competitive edge in securing contracts within this niche sector.

## Notice

The project for which this instrument will be used is part of a coordinated three-lab team.(UKCEH, Universities of Cranfield and Middlesex) The team requires the use of the exact same kit as it is the easiest and strongest way to ensure comparability of data. The instrument we chose is already in operation in two of the three labs and this request is to secure the same kit in UKCEH. Moreover, this kit is uniquely compatible with the Laboratory Information Management System that we have secured. As such, data comparability and compatibility is uniquely ensured through the procurement of this specific instrument.
