## Summary

Cardiff Metropolitan University is currently engaged in the procurement process for 'Sequencing Analysis Equipment' intended for use at the ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre. The location of the university is at Llandaff campus, Cardiff (CF5 2YB). This procurement falls under the goods category and employs an open method. The tender period concluded on 15 April 2022, with the award date recorded as 24 May 2022. This initiative aims to acquire advanced sequencing instruments to enhance the identification of bacterial isolates, particularly for assessing food safety.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in high-tech scientific instruments and analytical equipment. Suppliers with expertise in detecting and analysing biological samples, particularly in the food industry, will find this tender particularly relevant. Companies offering innovative solutions for infection control and food safety are well-suited to participate, thereby contributing to public health and enhancing their market presence within a niche sector.

## Notice

The ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre at Cardiff Metropolitan University is seeking to purchase an instrument capable of both whole genome and next generation sequencing analysis, primarily for the identification of bacterial isolates (average genome size 2-3 Mb) and subsequent evaluation of drug resistant regions.There are various reasons for purchase that are both multipurpose and cross disciplinary.The primary purpose is to evaluate serotypes of bacteria within food processing sites, specifically listeria colonies. Listeria is a robust pathogenic bacteria that is motile and therefore difficult to control within high risk food processing sites.This instrument will be primarily used in order to better understand contamination routes within food manufacturing and processing sites and to support a PhD in this area.
