## Summary

The procurement process involved the University of Bath, which has successfully awarded a contract for a Whole Genome Sequencing service aimed at characterising the genomes of 2,000 isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The contract, valued at £100,000, falls under the research and development services category and will be executed in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, with the tender phase concluding on 8th November 2019 and the contract period running from 14th November 2019 to 13th May 2021.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the genomic sequencing sector, particularly those offering innovative research and development services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity accessible, as the procurement authority indicated suitability for such operators, even though any selection will depend solely on the established criteria for the procurement. Companies capable of delivering high-quality bacterial genome sequencing on advanced platforms like Illumina will be especially well-positioned to compete effectively for contracts in this sector.

## 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.
