## Summary

The University of Dundee has completed the award procedure without prior publication for a Term Contract for the Supply of Big Dye and Terminator. The contract, valued at 100,000 GBP, was awarded to Thermo Fisher Scientific - Life Technologies. The procurement method was limited, and the main procurement category was goods. The contract aims to ensure continuity and consistency of supply for the Sequencing Facility in MRC-PPU over a 4-year period.

This tender for the supply of Big Dye and Terminator creates an opportunity for suppliers who can offer competitive solutions in the goods category. Businesses in the life sciences industry, particularly those specializing in sequencing products and technologies, may find this tender well-suited to their expertise. As the University of Dundee has selected Thermo Fisher as the market leader, companies offering innovative and high-quality sequencing solutions could compete effectively in similar future procurements.

## Notice

Term Contract for the Supply of Big Dye and Terminator on a call-off basis to MRC-PPU, University of Dundee.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Single Source Term Contract (2 + 2, subject to satisfactory performance and ongoing need)) for the Supply of Big Dye and associated Big Dye T product to MRC-PPU. Required in order to ensure continuity and consistency of sequencing results.

### Procurement Information

The Sequencing Facility in MRC-PPU has rightly aggregated their requirement for Big Dye and Big Dye T over a 4 year period, with an overall estimated total value of 100000 GBP. Whilst alternative products are available from other suppliers, ThermoFisher is the market leader. MRC-PPU previously investigated the alternatives; these offered only a very small saving and therefore were viewed as a false economy. They therefore want to award a 4 year contract to ThermoFisher in order to ensure continuity and consistency of supply and therefore results.
