## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is conducting an open tender for the procurement of a Single Cell Sequencing System. This initiative falls under the goods category, specifically within the laboratory equipment sector (CPV code 38000000). The procurement process is currently active, with the tender period concluding on 5th March 2021. Delivery of the equipment will be required at the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control located in South Mimms, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, UK. The procurement process has been structured under an open procedure, which allows for broad participation in the bidding process.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in laboratory and precision equipment, particularly those with expertise in high-throughput genomic sequencing technologies. Suppliers capable of providing innovative, reliable systems compatible with various sample types, and offering efficient workflow solutions will be particularly well-suited for this tender. Additionally, businesses that can provide ongoing maintenance services, as indicated by the potential five-year maintenance contract associated with the purchase, could also see growth opportunities through this procurement process.

## Notice

Agency would like to purchase a new high-throughput platform for single-cell isolation, barcoding, and subsequent analysis via next-generation sequencing on an Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer. The main application will be RNA-Seq and the minimum number of cells processed per run should be >10,000. Quick laboratory workflows and compatibility of the system with a wide range of input samples such as fresh, frozen and fixed, would be beneficial. Consumable costs will be an estimate.
