The project aims to implement genomic selection in the perennial energy crop Miscanthus, requiring a supplier to provide a rapid genomic marker system. The procurement is at the award stage, with a contract worth £224,325.84 signed on 16th August 2022. This tender from Aberystwyth University offers business growth opportunities for suppliers capable of providing high throughput genomic marker systems. Companies specializing in genomics, sequencing, and marker generation are well-suited to compete. With key deadlines revolving around DNA extraction and sequencing processes, businesses with expertise in quick and accurate genomic analysis would thrive in this competitive tender environment. ## Notice Researchers at IBERS, Aberystwyth University are undertaking a 3 year project to implement genomic selection (GS) in the perennial energy crop Miscanthus. The project is to establish genomic selection in 2 Miscanthus recurrent selection pools (M.sinensis and M.sacchariflorus). We need a rapid, high throughput genomic marker system to enable selections in time to make crosses within the same season in order to generate the subsequent generation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The projects has 2 phases: Phase 1. Training Set & parents: 111 diploid M. sinensis, 341 tetraploid M.sacchariflorus Phase 2: Progeny screening: Approx. 1000 progeny per species, per year. Max. 2000 per year, 6000 total over 3 years. Phase 1. Leaf samples will be taken from mature plants in July 2022. A.Genomic DNA will be extracted from leaf samples. We will prepare DNA in-house if necessary, but we would prefer all processing to be done by the company if at all possible. B.The company will process and sequence the DNA samples C.The company will generate genomic (SNP) markers (genotype calls rather than NGS sequence tags that then have to be mined for SNPs). Phase 2: Samples will be taken from the seedlings in Feb/March of 2023, 2024 and 2025. A. Genomic DNA will be extracted from leaf samples. We will prepare DNA in-house if necessary, but we would prefer all processing to be done by the company if at all possible. B. The company will process and sequence the DNA samples. This may be using the same technology or a modified version in relation to Phase 1. C. The company will generate genomic (SNP) markers (genotype calls rather than NGS sequence tags that then have to be mined for SNPs). Markers are required back by May/June at the latest. A rapid and robust process is essential or we will miss a year's crossing and miss our project targets. We need the same SNPs for both GS training (Phase 1, 2022) and genotyping the seedlings (Phase 2, 2023-2025). Renewal: Any work awarded following phase 1 will be by the way of extension options to the original contract ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=121824 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Aug 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £224,325 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ABERYSTWYTH UNIVERSITY | | Locality | ABERYSTWYTH | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY23 3FL | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL41 Mid Wales | | Local authority | Ceredigion | | Electoral ward | Aberystwyth Morfa a Glais | | Westminster constituency | Ceredigion Preseli | | Delivery location | TLL1 West Wales and The Valleys | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | ABERYSTWYTH UNIVERSITY; RAPID GENOMICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33696500 - Laboratory reagents ## Release History - 1 Sep 2022 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=121824 - 31 May 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=121824 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY400461 Miscanspeed sequencing procurement - Researchers at IBERS, Aberystwyth University are undertaking a 3 year project to implement genomic selection (GS) in the perennial energy crop Miscanthus.
