Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC), located in Alderley Park, Cheshire, is currently at the award stage of a public procurement process. This tender, titled "The Supply, Delivery, Installation and Maintenance of a Confocal and Multiphoton Laser Scanning Microscope," follows the EU Procurement Directive's Open Procedure and is aimed at acquiring essential medical equipment. The procurement contract, valued at £726,000, commenced on 31st March 2019 and will run until 30th March 2023. The deadline for tender submissions was 4th December 2018, and all suppliers were required to account for potential impacts related to Brexit in their proposals.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the medical equipment sector, particularly those that specialise in laboratory and optical precision equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given that MDC encourages participation from a diverse range of organisations. Suppliers will not only need to supply and install the microscope system but also provide training and ongoing maintenance, which expands the potential for contract extensions beyond the initial one-year warranty period.
