Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a "Cell/Particle Counter" is currently in the planning stage, initiated by the MHRA Buyer Organisation located in Potters Bar, England. This tender falls under the industry category of laboratory reagents and is relevant to the regions of East of England, London, and the South East. The engagement end date for potential suppliers to express interest is set for 5th August 2019, after which a direct award may occur if no suitable submissions are received, subject to fund approval. Suppliers are encouraged to provide details of their capabilities and a list price range for the proposed systems.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment, particularly those with expertise in automated systems that provide precise cell counting and viability analysis. Suppliers that offer compact benchtop systems, fast measurement capabilities, and user-friendly software for multi-user environments will be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the laboratory and microbiological fields should consider this tender as it allows them to potentially engage in a competitive bidding process or a direct award scenario.
