Tender Results of University Of Edinburgh

ACF Relocation Project-Award against framework: Servers, Storage and Solutions National Agreement (SSSNA) (SC Ref:749043) This project will deliver the migration of Eddie (HPC) and Eleanor (private cloud) services currently hosted at EPCC’s Advanced Computing Facility (ACF) at the Bush Estate to ISG’s Mary Somerville Data Centre (MSDC).

Insurance Brokerage-Award against framework: Insurance Brokerage Framework (SC Ref:749036) Maintaining an insurance brokering and insurance advisory service agreement is a crucial aspect of the University’s insurance provisions.

CellCyte X Live Cell Analyser-(SC Ref:755439) Purchase of live cell analyser with high resolution camera and blue fluoresence channel analysis to facilitate the capacity requirements of research at the University of Edinburgh.

Provision of Matlab Licence-(SC Ref:753931) Provision of Matlab Licence for period September 2023 to August 2026

LabMac Desktop Suooprt-(SC Ref:739004) supply of Jamf Pro licensing.

Portable Photosynthesis System-(SC Ref:754547) The Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences is currently working on a short-term project spanning 24 months, which began in October 2023. The project is focused exclusively on measuring small Arabidopsis plants. Giving the number of plant lines to be generated and characterised within a brief timeline, a dedicated piece of equipment is required for high-throughput measurements of plant gas exchange and fluorescence. This equipment is critical for measuring changes or enhanceme...

Elyra 7-Zeiss Lattice SIM2 SR microscope. This will open possibilities for many research groups to routinely perform live cell super-resolution imaging across a range of physiological samples, scales and models. The procurement route taken is a direct award facilitated through APUC frameworks. Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine have been a strategic priority for the UoE over the past two decades. Newly recruited faculty at all career stages have created a critical mass of PIs who...

Servers & Storage-Award against framework: Servers, Storage and Solutions National Agreement (SSSNA) Includes 5 years warranty. (SC Ref:754430) Purchase of server and small external storage shelf to facilitate the increasing computational requirements of research at the University of Edinburgh.

Liquid Handler Maintenance-(SC Ref:754539) A requirement for maintenance of an currently installed liquid handler, it was confirmed that the original equipment manufacturer is the only supplier able to fulfill the requirement.

Elyra 7-(SC Ref:754541) With the recently developed Lattice SIM2 technology, there is a clear opportunity to broadly deploy SR at the new Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR) at the Edinburgh bioQuarter campus. Our ability to track dynamic cellular processes has been transformed by new tools and techniques that have emerged from genetics (CRISPR), stem cell biology (iPSCs and organoids), and synthetic biology (genetic circuits and reporters). These can be combined with super-resolution (SR) im...
