## Summary

The University of Edinburgh recently awarded a contract for the procurement of benchtop sequencing equipment under the open procedure. This initiative, categorised under 'goods', follows the successful completion of the tendering process, with the award dated December 13, 2016. The project is tied to the broader industry category of education and medical research, and it serves the local area of Edinburgh, UK. The contract, valued at £73,542.87, supports the lab's capabilities in conducting small-scale, exploratory projects that enhance the quality of sequencing samples.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of medical research equipment, particularly those that specialise in next-generation sequencing technologies. Companies that can deliver high-quality sequencing instruments and support services would be particularly well-suited to engage in future procurement processes initiated by the University of Edinburgh or similar educational institutions. As the demand for advanced medical research equipment continues to rise, participating in this market could lead to fruitful contracts and partnerships within the academia and healthcare sectors.

## Notice

Benchtop sequencing equipment

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Purchase of equipment for next-generation sequencing. The equipment will allow the lab to perform small scale and exploratory/pilot projects where up to 25 million sequencing reads can be obtained in our lab within 24 hours to assess the sample quality and glean useful preliminary information. Once this initial assessment of samples has been performed, these same samples or only those samples with desired quality and/or characteristics can be immediately sent to Edinburgh Genomics for deeper sequencing (ie up to 120 million reads each) but with a turnaround time of 3-4 weeks.
