Summary of the contracting process

Cefas is seeking to procure a High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer (HRMS) system for its Weymouth laboratory under the title "CEFAS21-78 Liquid chromatography High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry system". This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically focused on mass spectrometers, with a total contract value of £280,000. The tender is currently at the active stage, using an open procurement method, and submissions must be received by 15th November 2021 at 12:00 PM. Installation and training are also required as part of the contract, which lasts for 360 days.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of laboratory equipment and instruments, particularly those specialised in mass spectrometry and analytical systems. Companies with capabilities in providing integrated solutions for analytical workflows, including software for contaminant identification and systems for bespoke training, will be well-positioned to compete. Businesses focused on environmental protection, health-related applications, or those that can offer innovative technology in microbial identification may find this a particularly advantageous opportunity.

Notice Title

CEFAS21-78 Liquid chromatography High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry system

Notice Description

Due to an expansion of work activities, Cefas has a requirement for a High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer (HRMS) at its Weymouth laboratory. This will expand upon the existing analytical capabilities and complement the existing triple quadrupole mass spectrometers and HPLC systems on site. The system is required to have as a minimum three main applications for use, although other applications are expected. These include: 1. High resolution accurate mass MS and MS/MS information for identification and structural elucidation of low molecular weight natural aquatic biotoxins; 2. Untargeted analysis and identification of chemical contaminants (i.e. pharmaceutical compounds) in tissue and environmental samples; 3. Metabolomics workflow. The system should also incorporate an appropriate chromatographic separation module https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/52704340017C7AB3607B

Lot Information

Lot 1

Cefas require a MALDI-TOFF benchtop bio-analyser and spectra libraries to rapidly detect bacteria, yeasts, and moulds, with an additional library to detect pathogens that require addition containment or security. The system must have the ability to curate libraries for niche pathogens that are critical for animal, human and environmental health. It would be attractive if these curated libraries could be shared with other collaborative partners (e.g., Animal and Plant Health Agency). These should be able to be shared via Excel or other easily compatible programme. The instrument must have the option of positive or negative ion mode and features that enable novel future applications, such as AMR (Antimicrobial Resistance), lipid characterisation and new matrices (algae, hymolymph). A cleaning mode for the ion source must be integrated into the device. The technology must allow high mass spectrometric resolution across a wide mass range that is tailored to microorganism identification (bacteria, fungi, yeasts and moulds. Installation and at least two days training must be provided by the Tenderer and included in the quotation. Pricing for a full-service agreement covering the lifetime of the instrument must also be included (10 years or 50 Million shots of the laser). https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/79091401017C5A399CA5
