Summary of the contracting process

The University of Manchester has completed a procurement process for updating equipment at the Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre (SBDC). This initiative, which falls under the goods category, specifically centres around mass spectrometer equipment, with a total contract value of approximately £875,000. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, and the equipment was required to be operational by the end of July 2022 to facilitate the relocation of the Centre. The tender was awarded to AB Sciex Ltd, who were selected based on price criteria.

This procurement process provides a substantial opportunity for businesses in the high-tech scientific equipment sector, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometry, chromatography, and automation technologies. Companies with expertise in manufacturing and supplying highly specialised equipment that aligns with existing SCIEX technologies would be particularly well-positioned to compete for future tenders of a similar nature. With the increasing demand for advanced analytical equipment in clinical research, companies that can offer compatible and innovative solutions will find significant prospects for growth in this sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Update of equipment within the Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre (SBDC).

Notice Description

The SBDC requires the update of mass spectrometry, chromatography, sample preparation automation and associated equipment and software in a manner compatible with the existing infrastructure.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre (SBDC) was opened in 2016 as a result of funding by a philanthropic gift from the Stoller Charitable Trust, the Medical Research Council (MRC) and in partnership with SCIEX, to help to industrialise the process of identifying biomarkers. The Centre was stocked with a large suite of high-end SCIEX mass spectrometers, including TripleTOF(r) 6600 Systems and QTRAP(r) 6500+ Systems and associated equipment for clinical proteomics and metabolomics applications. The Centre works to a quality system and has a dedicated IT infrastructure for the management and assessment of the data produced. We are now looking to update the mass spectrometry, chromatography and sample preparation equipment to allow for the relocation of the Centre to a new location with a smaller footprint whilst maintaining the function and infrastructure as much as possible.

Procurement Information

Explanation: The SBDC was created in partnership with SCIEX and substantial work has been done to configure custom workflows and software tools with the equipment in SBDC. We have very short timeframes for this work and all equipment must be on-site and functioning by the end of July 2022. Hardware and software must therefore be compatible with existing SCIEX technologies.
