A Dynamic Procurement System has been chosen for the following reasons: the DAS is suitable for common purchases of services, the characteristics of which due to the general availability on the market meet the needs of The UMCG.

The work to be performed qualifies as a service, in fact, the definition of "NGS Sequencing" used by UMCG is as follows:

With this, the work falls under the CPV codings that qualify the work as a service:

- Laboratory Services 71900000-7

71000000-8 Architectural, engineering, civil engineering and inspection services

71900000-7 Laboratory Services

71900000-7 Laboratory Services

71900000-7 Laboratory Services

- Research laboratory services 73111000-3

73000000-2 Research and development, and related consultancy services

73100000-3 Research and experimental development services

73110000-6 Performance of research services

73111000-3 Research laboratory services.

The UMCG wishes to establish a DAS for Sequencing Services for the purpose of research. The goal is to issue requests for proposals for the following Sequencing Services during the term of the DAS:

Supplier can perform NGS sequencing with at least one of the following specifications:

Can perform Metagenomic sequencing

Can perform Single cell sequencing

Can sequence microbiome RNA samples

Can sequence low input samples (0.05 ng/ul for metagenomes, pg for virome)

Can sequence using adapters that allow identification of single stranded sequences

Can perform at least mid-output fragmentation of the DNA samples using sonication (for example, in batches of 96)

Can perform samples washing/concentration using beads in a high-throughput manner

Can generate at least 4GB of data per sample

Can perform long-read sequencing with Oxford nanopore

Can perform NGS sequencing with new technique (non of the above)
