The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract to 10X Genomics Inc. for the supply of single-cell RNA sequencing reagent kits. The tender, titled NCA21213 - 10X Genomics Reagents, was in the procurement stage of an Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The University highlighted the requirement for these kits due to compatibility issues with existing equipment, leading to the selection of the original equipment manufacturer as the sole provider.

This procurement process offers business growth opportunities for suppliers of specialised scientific equipment, especially those capable of providing unique and essential products or services tailored to specific requirements. Businesses dealing with RNA sequencing technologies or scientific reagents could find opportunities in supplying niche products to institutions with specific equipment compatibility needs, such as universities conducting advanced research like the University of Edinburgh. Understanding and addressing the technical specifics of equipment compatibility and the limitations of current market offerings are crucial aspects that can set businesses apart in competitive tendering processes like this one.

## Notice

10X Genomics Inc. manufactures the equipment that is used by the University of Edinburgh for RNA sequencing, and there is no other source of the single-cell RNA sequencing reagent kits which would be compatible. As a consequence, it is not possible to competitively procure these items by any other source than 10X Genomics. It's worth noting that it is recognised there may be an ongoing demand for these kits, and so a longer-term approach is being explored with stakeholders. However, the kits covered under this NCA are required as soon as possible to support planned experiments.
