## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract for the supply and installation of the Revio long-read sequencer to Pacific Biosciences. The procurement process was conducted through a limited method with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The University of Edinburgh aims to enhance its research support by acquiring cutting-edge long-read sequencing technology, which offers significant improvements in sequencing capabilities, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. The contract, valued at £748,770, was signed on 30th June 2023.

This tender for the Revio long-read sequencer presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply and installation of advanced scientific equipment to compete. Companies with expertise in providing high-tech sequencing solutions, particularly those experienced in genomics research support, could find this tender suitable for business growth. The advanced features and capabilities of the Revio system make it a valuable addition to the University of Edinburgh's research infrastructure, creating a competitive landscape for firms looking to contribute to cutting-edge scientific advancements.

## Notice

Supply & installation of the Revio long-read sequencer

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply, delivery, installation and training of the Revio long-read sequencing system. To include removal & disposal of instrument the Revio has superseded and is replacing.

Options: The University reserves the option to take up extended warranty and maintenance support beyond the three years committed to.

### Procurement Information

Edinburgh Genomics, within the University of Edinburgh, is procuring newly-released long-read sequencing technology from PacBio (the Revio system) to supplement the existing instruments it has at its disposal to support a wide range of research groups. This instrument represents a step-change in long-read sequencing, offering 15 times higher capacity at lower running costs than its predecessor. In addition, the new system uses advanced deep learning techniques to further extend the accuracy of the High Fidelity (HiFi) reads, with 90% of bases >=Q30 and median read accuracy >=Q30. The solution allows for higher cost effectiveness, greater sequencing depth or multiplexing of a larger number of samples and enables hard to sequence regions to be accurately resolved at an unprecedented scale. Edinburgh Genomics currently possesses the latest version of competing technology, and this system will complement that suite of instruments to ensure it can provide the best possible support to research.
