## Summary

The University of the Highlands and Islands is seeking proposals for the provision of custom peptides/antigens, primarily aimed at supporting its research initiatives in Inverness, UK. This procurement falls within the goods category and has been initiated as an open tender, which is in the award stage following the completion of the tender period on 28th June 2019. The total value of the contracts for this procurement is £50,000, with active contracts signed on 10th July 2019 for two key lots. The contracts specify delivery to the Centre for Health Science at Inverness Campus.

This procurement presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the life sciences and biotechnology sectors, particularly those specialising in peptide synthesis and custom antigen production.
