Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Instrument for Teagasc Moorepark
Teagasc Moorepark, Fermoy, Co. Cork
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.
