    II.1.5)

    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    This public procurement competition relates to the supply of a Next Generation

    Sequencing Instrument (NGS Sequencer) for Teagasc Moorepark. DNA

    Sequencing is now an essential component of all fields of biological science. As it

    is not feasible for all research institutes to purchase/operate a suite of state-of-

    the-art sequencing platforms, the international model has been to develop

    centralised centres to provide low-cost services to researchers. This provides

    key competitive advantages with respect to carrying out high quality research,

    joint programming and securing international funding. The further expansion of

    the APC Microbiome Institute at Teagasc, Moorepark to become a centralised

    Irish Sequencing Centre, through the procurement of a Next Generation

    Sequencing (NGS) Instrument, will considerably benefit Irish research institutes

    and industry alike. The purpose of this Competition is to establish a single

    supplier framework agreement contract for Goods (“Goods Framework

    Contract”) with the Contracting Authority, Teagasc.
