## Summary

The procurement process titled "NCA20954 Capillary" is being conducted by the University of Edinburgh, located in Edinburgh, UK. This project falls within the goods category, specifically in the educational and medical research sectors. It is currently in the Award stage, having completed the tender processes with an award granted on June 11, 2020. The tender involved upgrading to a refurbished 96 well capillary instrument to replace an outdated model, with a contract value of £118,147. The main delivery location for the contract is the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for large suppliers specialising in laboratory equipment and technology. Companies with expertise in capillary sequencing instruments, especially those associated with Thermo Scientific, are well-suited to compete in this space, given the established relationship with the buyer. Additionally, businesses in the healthcare and research industry with the capacity to deliver high-quality products and services aligned with advanced medical research could find potential collaborative opportunities as the University of Edinburgh looks to enhance its facility capabilities.

## Notice

We have been operating our current 3730 48 lane capillary for 14 years and it can no longer meet the demands of the facility so we are upgrading to a refurbished 96 well version

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Thermo Scientific are the world leaders in Sanger sequencing capillary sequencers and are the only company that manufactures and supplies 96 well capillary instruments. We have several other Thermo instruments that are under contract so an additional Thermo instrument will result in additional discount to all the service contracts. We also have a very good relationship with the current engineers being able to contact them directly
