## Summary

The University of Exeter procured laboratory consumables for DNA sequencing, specifically Oxford Nanopore DNA sequencing flow cells, sequencing kits and PCR barcoding consumables. The requirement supports laboratory DNA sequencing activity and falls within the laboratory reagents category. The University of Exeter is the buying organisation, based in Exeter. The supplies are associated with the University’s laboratory operations; the procurement data does not identify a separate delivery location. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or works contract, and the scope is focused on consumable products used in Oxford Nanopore sequencing workflows and polymerase chain reaction barcoding.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of Exeter used a direct award procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. Oxford Nanopore Technologies was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 May 2026 and runs from 13 May 2026 to 13 May 2027. Its value is £25,770 excluding VAT and £31,032 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not provide a separate award date or describe comparative evaluation criteria, because the procurement was conducted without competition.

This procurement indicates demand from the University of Exeter for a complete Oxford Nanopore sequencing consumables supply, spanning flow cells, sequencing kits and PCR barcoding products. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to provide laboratory-grade consumables that are compatible with DNA sequencing workflows and suitable for routine research laboratory use. Product knowledge across both sequencing and PCR barcoding consumables would help a supplier address the requirement as a package rather than as an isolated product line. The selected supplier is a large specialist technology company, indicating that credible competitors may need dependable supply capacity, established product support and the ability to serve an institutional laboratory buyer.
