Statsbygg constructs the new Life Sciences Building (LVB) for the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Research and South-East Health as the co-contracting authority. The building shall be the workplace for approx. 1,600 employees and 1,600 students. Start up for the excavation and ground work was the second quarter of 2019 and the planned completion is at the end of 2026. Various professional environments shall work multi-disciplinary here to develop new solutions for major challenges within health and sustainability with access to the best and most modern equipment required to carry out world class research, teaching and innovation. FOA § 13-4 letter b. no. 2: The procurement concerns services that only a specific supplier can deliver, for technical reasons, as well as § 13-4 letter b. no. 3. A compact and flexible sequencing instrument shall be procured for use at the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Oslo, affiliated with NorSeq – the national research infrastructure for sequencing. The instrument shall be used for quality control (QC) of sequencing libraries, small scale genome sequencing and verification sequencing, as well as included in the service offer to researchers with a need for low to moderate data amounts. The instrument shall be able to sequence a broad range of species and applications, as well as function as a QC tool for genome-scale sequencing instruments. To fulfil this purpose, the following required minimum requirements are set for the instrument: Support for a wide range of genomic applications, including 2×500 bp paired-end sequencing with high data quality sequencing capacity up to 30 Gb per run, with flexible adaptation of data quantity Sequencing time of maximum 24 hours for 2×300 bp set-up Flexibility in cycle numbers (minimum 100, 300, 600 and 1000 cycles) Use of ready-produced reagent cassettes and reagents that can be handled and stored at room temperature Support for index-first sequencing and fast generation of index reads for quality control and optimisation of sample pooling Full compatibility with Illumina libraries, so that the instrument can be used as a QC platform for existing large scale sequencing systems Delivery of sequence data with a minimum of Q30 quality at relevant read lengths. The requirements are determined based on the contracting authority ́s actual need for efficient operation, high data quality, quick execution and seamless integration with the existing infrastructure and work flow. Market assessment and alternative solutions The Contracting Authority has carried out a market survey (RFI) via Mercell/Doffin. Only one tenderer registered interest and documented fulfilment of all the minimum requirements. Furthermore, the contracting authority has assessed alternative technologies and suppliers based on the professional environment ́s knowledge of the market. These alternatives do not, however, fulfil the requirement, i.a. because they:do not support 2×300 bp paired-end sequencing of equivalent quality has significantly longer sequencing time than 24 hours for equivalent set-ups not compatible with Illumina libraries and therefore cannot be used for quality control of existing systemsnot offer the necessary flexibility in data capacity up to 30 Gb per running that does not support 'index-first' sequencing or rapid generation of read indexsUse of such alternative solutions will lead to significant disadvantages, including reduced data quality, inefficient use of resources, increased time spent and a lack of integration with existing infrastructure. This is seen as disproportionately against the objective of the procurement. Conclusion: Based on the set requirements and completed market surveys, the contracting authority has no real or reasonable alternatives in the market than MiSeq i100 Plus from Illumina. This is as far as the contracting authority is aware of the only system that fulfils all functionality, performance and compatibility requirements. The terms in PPR § 13-4 letter b no. 2 and are therefore considered fulfilled.
