The requirement covers three related areas: one Evosep One liquid chromatography instrument; Evosep One consumables and accessories; and IonOpticks consumables. These goods support the university’s MRC-PPU Mass Spectrometry Facility and FingerPrints Proteomics Facility, including existing PRM, high-throughput LC-MS, peptide-centric, in-depth and single-cell proteomics workflows, as well as funded research projects. The procurement is classified under laboratory and analysis equipment (CPV 38432200). The supply agreement includes the possibility of further instrumentation, Evosep consumables, accessories and IonOpticks consumables, subject to need, funding and satisfactory supplier performance. The University of Dundee is the buying organisation and delivery is to its life sciences facilities in Dundee. This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The University awarded all three lots to Fintiede Solutions Ltd: £60,000 for the Evosep One instrument, £200,000 for Evosep One consumables and accessories, and £100,000 for IonOpticks consumables. The three contracts were signed on 4 September 2026 and are recorded as active. The arrangement covers five periods of 12 months, with fixed-price terms for the consumables lots and options for additional purchases. The procedure relied on Fintiede’s exclusive rights with Evosep and IonOpticks, and the requirement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant procurement directive. The published standstill period was at least 10 calendar days before contract conclusion. This award indicates a defined requirement for suppliers able to provide Evosep One liquid chromatography instrumentation, compatible consumables and accessories, and IonOpticks consumables for university mass-spectrometry and proteomics facilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need direct manufacturer rights or an equivalent authorised supply position, particularly because the selected route relied on exclusive rights. It would also need to support established laboratory workflows spanning targeted PRM, high-throughput LC-MS, peptide-centric and in-depth proteomics, and single-cell proteomics. Capability to supply both capital equipment and recurring consumables would be relevant, as would dependable fulfilment for research facilities and the ability to offer fixed-price consumables arrangements. The buyer’s use of a multi-lot structure shows that instrumentation and the two consumables categories may be considered separately. ## Notice Establish a Supply Agreement for Evosep One Instrumentation and related accessories, consumables and IonOpticks Consumables ### Lot Information Supply of an EvoSep One Instrument Supply of an EvoSep One Instrument Options: Scope to include additional EvoSep One Instrumentation subject to need, available funding and satisfactory performance by the appointed contractor.
