## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract (NCA21213 - 10X Genomics Reagents) for goods in the industry category of Reagents and contrast media. The procurement stage was concluded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The University identified the need for single-cell RNA sequencing reagent kits that are only compatible with equipment from 10X Genomics Inc., resulting in the sole supplier being awarded the contract. The deadline for this contract was on 6th December 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses supplying reagents and contrast media to engage in contracts tailored for specific technical requirements. As the University of Edinburgh required a unique product compatible with their existing equipment, it showcases a scenario where specialized suppliers have an advantage. Businesses with capabilities in producing highly specific goods for unique technical needs are well-suited to compete in similar tenders where technical compatibility is crucial for successful bids.

## Notice

10X Genomics Inc. manufactures the equipment that is used by the University of Edinburgh for RNA sequencing, and there is no other source of the single-cell RNA sequencing reagent kits which would be compatible. As a consequence, it is not possible to competitively procure these items by any other source than 10X Genomics. It's worth noting that it is recognised there may be an ongoing demand for these kits, and so a longer-term approach is being explored with stakeholders. However, the kits covered under this NCA are required as soon as possible to support planned experiments.
