## Summary

Cardiff University is conducting a procurement for the "GeoMX Spatial Profiler and nCounter MAX," targeted at the education sector. This contract is located in Cardiff, UK, and is currently in the award stage following a limited procurement method without prior publication. The award notice was issued on 9 December 2021, with a total contract value of £444,167. The goods involved focus on advanced technology for detailed protein and mRNA analysis in tissue samples, pivotal for research advancements.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for suppliers of innovative technology solutions, particularly those specialising in laboratory equipment for biomedical research and analysis. Companies that focus on cutting-edge scientific instruments and are capable of meeting the unique requirements of this procurement would be well-placed to compete, especially those with experience in multiplexed assays and imaging technologies. Given that the procurement did not allow for a competitive tendering process, suppliers who can demonstrate specific expertise in this field may have a clear advantage.

## Notice

The nanoString GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler and nCounter Max combination is a novel cutting-edge technology which enables spatially resolved, digital characterisation of proteins or mRNA in tissue specimens, in highly multiplexed assays. The use of highly multiplexed assays combined with precise spatial information is leading to fundamental changes in how tissue samples are analysed within their 2D and 3D context. Importantly, the GeoMx also allows analysis of cultured cells and tissue as well as tissue sections, allowing modelling of in vitro interactions. As well as being integral to the GeoMX workflow, the nCounter can also be used as a powerful stand-alone single-cell analysis instrument.
