The requirement covers an EvoSep One instrument, EvoSep One consumables and accessories, and IonOpticks consumables, classified as chromatography equipment. The equipment and consumables support existing proteomics workflows at the University’s MRC-PPU Mass Spectrometry Facility and FingerPrints Proteomics Facility, including PRM, high-throughput LC-MS assays, peptide-centric and in-depth proteomic LC-MS assays, single-cell proteomics and funded research projects. Delivery and use are centred on the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee in Dundee. This is a goods procurement divided into three areas: the instrument, EvoSep consumables and accessories, and IonOpticks consumables. Additional purchases may be made where required, funded and supported by satisfactory contractor performance. The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. All three lots were awarded to Fintiede Solutions Ltd: the EvoSep One instrument for £60,000; EvoSep One consumables and accessories for £200,000; and IonOpticks consumables for £100,000. Each contract was signed on 4 September 2026, and each award is active. The stated total envisaged expenditure over five 12-month periods is £500,000. The University’s stated rationale was that the supplies could be provided only by Fintiede Solutions Ltd because it holds exclusive rights with EvoSep and IonOpticks. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. A minimum 10-calendar-day standstill period applied before final contract conclusion, with contracts signed on 4 September 2026. This award indicates established demand from the University of Dundee for EvoSep One systems and compatible consumables supporting specialist proteomics and mass-spectrometry research. A credible future competitor would need to supply or support EvoSep One instrumentation, consumables and accessories, as well as IonOpticks consumables, while maintaining reliable supply for laboratory workflows. Relevant capability includes understanding PRM, high-throughput LC-MS, peptide-centric and in-depth proteomics, single-cell proteomics and research-facility requirements. The procurement also shows that compatibility with existing equipment and consumable ranges is commercially important. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable fulfilment across equipment and recurring consumable requirements, understand the needs of university research facilities, and address any manufacturer or distribution rights affecting access to EvoSep and IonOpticks products. The incumbent is an SME based in Glasgow. ## Notice Establish a Supply Agreement for Evosep One Instrumentation and related accessories, consumables and IonOpticks Consumables ### Lot Information Supply of an EvoSep One Instrument Supply of an EvoSep One Instrument Options: Scope to include additional EvoSep One Instrumentation subject to need, available funding and satisfactory performance by the appointed contractor.
