## Summary

The University of Dundee has recently completed a public procurement process for a term contract lasting up to 48 months, entitled "Provision of immunoassay multiplexed panels for the rapid analysis of samples collected in both COVID and post-COVID trials". This procurement, classified under the services category within the education sector, was initiated using an open procedure. The contract was awarded to UMC Utrecht, with the date of contract signature recorded as 16th August 2021. The project is primarily located in Utrecht, Central Netherlands, with a total contract value of £175,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in immunoassay technologies, particularly those focusing on advanced multiplex testing methods. Companies with expertise in precision proteomics and biomarker discovery will find this procurement relevant, especially those capable of meeting the specific requirements of Olink's proprietary technology. The competitive landscape may favour larger suppliers familiar with COVID-related analysis, offering a potential avenue for growth within this significant sector of public health and research.

## Notice

Provision of immunoassay multiplexed panels for the rapid analysis of samples collected in both COVID and post-COVID trials using Olink patented technology.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Olink(r) patented high-quality multiplex immunoassay panels for precision proteomics in human protein biomarker discovery. Olink's protein panels can achieve a high level of multiplexing while maintaining exceptional data quality thanks to proprietary Proximity Extension Assay (PEA). This technology can measure up to 92 proteins simultaneously using only 1ul of serum (the panel that we have chosen as the best analysis of our samples contains 48 individual outcomes). Each biomarker is addressed by a matched pair of antibodies, coupled to unique, partially complementary oligonucleotides, and measured by quantitative real-time PCR. This dual recognition, DNA-coupled method provides exceptional readout specificity, since unlike in many other immunoassay formats, any antibody cross-reactivity that may occur during the multiplexed assay is excluded from the detection process.

Options: Call off of specified services on a project by project basis over maximum 4 year term
