Procurement of High Throughput Sequencing platform
Stichting Amsterdam UMC is looking for a high-throughput DNA sequencer capable of performing approximately 15,000 whole-genome sequencings (WGS) annually. The platform must be flexible in terms of run format and read length, support on-board secondary analysis (for WGS, WES, and RNA-seq), and be able to generate FASTQ files. Integrated ORA compression is required. Compatibility with Illumina and other commercial library prep kits, preferably without additional conversion, is essential. Additionally, the system must also be suitable for long-read sequencing. The supplier must have another UMC as a reference, demonstrate a proven track record in service, support, and maintenance, and guarantee sustainable handling of reagents. The procedure is negotiations without prior publication, which allows for rapid decision-making.

To continue meeting the requirements for high-quality diagnostics and research, the CFG is looking for a high throughput DNA sequencer that meets the following criteria: • Capacity of the platform is ±15,000 whole genome sequences per year; • Flexibility in run format and read length configurations; • Ability to perform on-board secondary analysis, especially for WGS/WES as well as RNA (transcriptomics), as well as conversion to FastQ files; • Integrated ORA (original read archive) compression (reduction of FASTQ file); • Compatibility with Illumina and other commercially available library pr
02Exclusion grounds
- No specific exclusion grounds were extracted. In a European tender, the mandatory and discretionary grounds of art. 2.86/2.87 of the Dutch Procurement Act almost always apply — check the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD).
03Value in context
