We are delighted to be able to announce that we have won a tender to supply the University of Leeds with DNA sequencing and associated activities. The tender is for a period of three years and demonstrates a real commitment from both parties to a sustained business relationship. This will allow us to build on our already very successful interaction with the University of Leeds, where we have a significant number of customer groups. The award of this tender also demonstrates our ability to compete in a fast moving and competitive field such as DNA sequencing.

Tender processes and subsequent framework or exclusive agreements are now more common for the supply of such commodities as DNA sequencing. The Leeds University tender was one of several that we are currently involved in and we hope to be successful with others in the near future. It is both a privilege and a pleasure to have been chosen as the supplier of DNA sequencing to Leeds University and we look forward to a mutually beneficial working experience over the next three years and hopefully beyond.
