## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is seeking services for DNA extraction and Quality Control in support of the DecodeME research project. This procurement process, which falls under the category of research services, is currently at the Award stage. The contract has a total value of £396,900 and was signed on 17 June 2021. The procurement was conducted using a limited procedure without prior publication due to the technical specificity of the work, and the delivery location is specified as Western General Hospital, Edinburgh.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in biotechnological services, particularly those involved in genetic research and laboratory analysis. Companies with expertise in DNA extraction and Quality Control, especially those with a proven track record in high-quality research services, would be well-positioned to compete. As the procurement process has already resulted in an active contract with UK Biocentre Ltd., potential suppliers should monitor similar future opportunities, especially in public sector healthcare and research projects.
