Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has initiated a public procurement process for the tender titled "2464/JN - Instrumentation for Label-free Biomolecule Interaction Analysis." This is a non-EU open exercise aimed at acquiring laboratory equipment with a budget of £65,000. The procurement method applied is an open procedure below the threshold, with the tender period closing on 27 May 2020. The project focuses on enhancing research capabilities in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through better molecular interaction analysis. The delivery for the awarded contract will take place between 25 and 26 June 2020 in Yorkshire and the Humber region, UK.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in laboratory and precision equipment, particularly those that are SMEs. Suppliers capable of providing reliable and innovative solutions for quantitative biomolecule interaction measurements may find this an ideal chance to partner with a reputable academic institution. The focus on antimicrobial resistance offers a unique angle for businesses involved in healthcare and research technologies, aiming to contribute to critical advancements in this field.

Notice Title

2464/JN - Instrumentation for Label-free Biomolecule Interaction Analysis

Notice Description

With co-funding from NIHR (National Institute for Health Research) we seek equipment offering reliable, user-friendly, quantitative, label-free determination of molecular interactions between a wide variety of biomolecules. We focus on the problems of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from fundamental science to translation into clinical benefit. We bring together scientists and clinicians to tackle all aspects of AMR. One aspect of our work relates to understanding the molecular mechanisms of AMR. The ability to measure molecular interactions in a quantitative manner will enhance our research capabilities. The ability to measure the strength of interactions is crucial to mechanistic understanding, e.g. between a bacterial protein and an antibiotic. Our current equipment is a single channel, operator-intensive machine that is suitable for preliminary studies on molecules with a molecular weight of > 10,000 Da. This has become a bottleneck for our studies due to: 1) its low capacity and 2) its inability to detect interactions between small molecules has prompted us to acquire extra capabilities and increased throughput. This is an non-EU open exercise. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend system, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system.
