## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the University of Edinburgh involves the tender titled "Monolith NT. 115Pico," which falls under the education and medical research categories. The contract was awarded on 7th November 2016 and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, targeting goods with an award amount of €110,850. The contracting authority, the University of Edinburgh, is identified as a body governed by public law, and details about the procurement stage indicate that the contract is currently active following its completion.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in microscale thermophoresis technology, particularly those capable of providing unique equipment that meets advanced research needs. Given that the required equipment from NanoTemper Technologies GmbH is not available from other suppliers in the region, businesses with similar innovative capabilities and a focus on precision measurement technologies in life sciences or related fields would be well-suited to compete in future procurement opportunities from the University of Edinburgh and similar organisations.

Monolith NT. 115Pico

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This equipment is required to accurately measure the metal-binding affinities of the proteins of interest to the Horsfall Lab for the duration of Dr Horsfall's EPSRC fellowship. The binding affinities of the proteins being studied are likely to be picomolar or possibly tighter. Therefore the only method available to study such strong binding constants is microscale thermophoresis. As this microscale thermophoresis equipment has been completely developed by NanoTemper, under tight IP protection, it is not available through any other supplier. Furthermore this equipment is not already available within the University, Scotland or the near North of England, as previous sales are focused in the South of England.
