## Summary

The public procurement process was initiated by the University of Edinburgh for the "Source Bioscience Sequencing Services" contract in the Education sector. Located in Edinburgh, the contract falls under the services category and is managed by the central purchasing body of the university. This contract reached the award stage as of 7th October 2025, with the procurement process being classified as limited, without prior publication, due to the technical necessity of ensuring data continuity and integrity for an ongoing project. The contract was awarded to Source BioScience UK Limited on 3rd October 2025 for the amount of £58,220.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in sequencing services and have the capability to ensure high data reliability and congruency for research projects. Although the contract was procured through a direct award to meet specific project demands, businesses with relevant expertise could consider targeting future contracts at the University of Edinburgh or similar institutions. Companies equipped to handle complex data integration and those capable of consistently delivering technical services may find substantial opportunities for collaboration and growth by understanding the specific needs outlined in such tailored procurement scenarios.

Sequencing services.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Edinburgh requires sequencing services for an ongoing project. Data from earlier samples will be integrated with the next batch of samples to be sequenced as part of this procurement. To maintain the integrity and congruency of the project, it is essential to use the same supplier for continuity. Awarding the contract to a new supplier could introduce risks such as batch errors or data misalignment, which would undermine the research's reproducibility. Therefore, to avoid these potential issues and ensure the quality and reliability of the data, the contract will be awarded directly to Source Bioscience.
