## Summary

The University of Edinburgh bought 10x Genomics reagent kits for its Single-Cell and Spatial Biology Facility and Centre for Regenerative Medicine. These are specialist laboratory consumables used in single-cell and spatial biology research. The requirement was for reagent kits compatible with the University’s existing equipment. The buyer is the University of Edinburgh, based in Edinburgh. The procurement covered one lot for these facilities; it was not a broader supply of laboratory equipment or general research services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. 10x Genomics was selected and the contract was signed on 24 September 2026, at a value of £322,779. The process used a limited procedure without a prior competition: the University stated that 10x Genomics is the exclusive manufacturer and that its kits alone are compatible with the existing equipment. One bid was received. The single lot was evaluated on technical quality alone, weighted at 100%, with price weighted at 0%.

This award indicates demand for specialist 10x Genomics reagent kits at the University’s Single-Cell and Spatial Biology Facility and Centre for Regenerative Medicine. The buyer’s stated requirement was driven by compatibility with its existing equipment, and it considered 10x Genomics the exclusive manufacturer of the required products. A credible competitor for a future requirement would therefore need to supply kits demonstrably compatible with the University’s installed systems and meet the technical requirements of both research facilities. General laboratory consumables supply or competitive pricing alone would not address the reason this supplier was selected.
