(NU/1840) The Supply and Installation of a Long-Read Single-Molecule Sequencing Platform for Scalable Genomics, Transcriptomic, Epigenomic and Single-Cell Analysis
Authority: Newcastle University (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Genomics Core Facility (GCF) within Newcastle University is a state-of-the-art Next-Generation Sequencing laboratory that specialises in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics applications and supports a wide range of sequencing-based research within the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS) and beyond. The sequencing technology currently available within the facility is based on a clonally amplified short-read approach. As part of an MRC equipment award the University are seeking to purchase a high-throughput, scalable, long-read single-molecule sequencer. The scope of the contract is for the supply of the equipment and proprietary consumables, delivery, installation, training, 4 years of maintenance and servicing cover to begin once the 12-month warranty period has expired and proprietary consumables for 5 years post installation (to be purchased as and when required). The sequencer will be operated by dedicated and experienced NGS staff and will play a central role in large-scale discovery and translational research programmes involving genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic and single cell analysis.

- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “(NU/1840) The Supply and Installation of a Long-Read Single-Molecule…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Review procedure
Newcastle University will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from the address referred to in part 1.1 above. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages.
