Notice Description

As a part of a planned sourcing activity for the provision of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), Public Health England (PHE) are organising Supplier Engagement Events. During these events, suppliers will be asked to provide an equipment demonstration and give a short presentation about their proposed solution. If you are interested in participating, please can you contact kallie.rivers@phe.gov.uk and luke.fillery@phe.gov.uk for further information and to plan and arrange the event. Additional information: PHE is planning to procure a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for use in its Porton Down National Infection Service (NIS) laboratories. The scanning electron microscope must be of the field emission gun type and be suitable for a wide range of applications e.g. clinical diagnostic investigations, biomedical research (bacteriology, virology, mycology, cell biology, parasitology and entomology) and examination of environmental samples.

Any equipment and services being offered must support International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 and 15189:2012 quality management standards under which PHE is operating. The Supplier Engagement Events are organised with a view to providing PHE with insights which will inform the specifications.
