What is being bought

Published requirement description

You are invited by The University of Edinburgh (UoE) to tender for a position on a lotted framework covering a wide range of Sequencing and Genotyping services.

The UoE have internally available resources and this framework is designed to support these resources. Our end-users will be encouraged to approach our internal resources first and foremost but if capability, capacity or cost isn't suitable, then successful suppliers on the framework will be able to compete for this business.

This procurement process aims to establish a family of Framework Agreements (all under the UoE procurement reference of EC0900) which shall be used to service future sequencing/genotyping projects, subject to their own project specific needs.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “EC0900 Lot 13 - DNA & RNA Extraction” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
