Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of agar plate reading software and equipment

Notice Description

Public Health England (PHE) requires the provision of an agar plate reader and associated software for its Colindale bacteriology reference laboratories. The software and equipment, which will consist of a camera, light box and image analysis software, will be used to read agar dilution plates. Although this will be a capital purchase, it is intended that any service, support and supply of bespoke consumables (if applicable) will be covered for the lifetime of the equipment or until PHE re-tenders the requirement. Any equipment and services being offered must support International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15189: 2012 under which PHE is operating. The current requirement is for the Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare Associated Infections (AMRHAI) Reference Unit based in Colindale, London. However, PHE has key sites located throughout the UK and new requirements could be identified during the course of this contract. (Please note that PHE's organisational structure is currently undergoing a transformation and as such new locations may be added or deleted during the course of this contract.) If you feel that you can meet the above requirements, please register on our e-tendering platform https://phe.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml and email kallie.rivers@phe.gov.uk or anna.gibson@phe.gov.uk so that you can be added to the tender.
