    Brief

    AFBI seeks to procure a modern benchtop genome sequencer with associated consumables and servicing to enhance veterinary microbiology capabilities for the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA). The instrument must process approximately 5,650 microbial genomes annually (average 5 megabase pairs each) to meet six-fold increased demand over the past five years. The sequencer should support disease surveillance, epidemiological investigations, pathogen characterization, and antimicrobial resistance profiling. Procurement includes the instrument, sequencing chemistry, oligonucleotide indexes for sample multiplexing, DNA library preparation chemistry, and comprehensive servicing and maintenance support for ten years. Suppliers should demonstrate capability to deliver high-throughput, high-quality genomic data analysis suitable for government veterinary microbiology operations.
