## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a procurement process for a contract titled "DNA-encoded library (DEL) screening, QMRI," focusing on the education sector. Located in Edinburgh, this open procedure was initiated to identify novel small molecules for drug discovery, with an awarded contract value of £49,000. The tender was formally signed on 7 February 2020, and the project delivery will take place at the Queen's Medical Research Institute in Edinburgh. This procurement process showcases the use of technical justification for awarding the contract without competition due to the unique capabilities of the supplier, DyNAbind GmbH.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in advanced molecular technologies and drug discovery services. Companies equipped with innovative screening techniques or those that possess unique technologies in the biopharmaceutical field could benefit by aligning their offerings with the specific needs of large organisations such as universities and research institutions. With limited competition in this niche area, businesses that can ensure confidentiality of intellectual property and demonstrate a robust capacity for delivering specialised services will find themselves well-positioned in future tenders.
