Notice Title

LUV01122 The supply, installation, commissioning, training and maintenance of a high-plex combined automated tissue section staining and imaging system with associated analysis software.

Notice Description

The University of Leicester wishes to procure a combined automated tissue staining and imaging platform (High-plex tissue imaging platform - HPTIP), with an associated analysis software package for the rapid, non-destructive high-plex staining, imaging and analysis of research samples including human and mouse formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections. The system MUST be supplied as a single package (and single invoice) containing the instrument/hardware, software, installation, commissioning and training. Award of contract is subject to: 1) Provision of grant funding to the University via the MRC medium equipment award 2022 (a decision on which is not expected before the end of October 2022); and 2) Agreement by the successful supplier that the contract will be concluded and paid for by 31st of March 2022 (after which the grant expires)

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Leicester Cancer Research Centre (LCRC) and the University of Leicester Advanced Imaging Facility (AIF) wishes to procure a combined automated tissue staining and imaging platform (High-plex tissue imaging platform - HPTIP) with associated analysis software package for the rapid, non-destructive high-plex staining, imaging and analysis of research samples including human and mouse formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections and cryo sections. The AIF presently houses a low-plex whole slide scanning system to image whole stained tissue sections capable of analysing up to 8 biomarkers on a single section. Procurement of the new system is intended to both increase capacity of this system by providing a new imaging platform and to improve capability by allowing the simultaneous detection of significantly more markers on a single slide than our capabilities currently allow. This will be a multi-user piece of equipment which will be used by multiple groups across the College of Life Sciences The system MUST be supplied as a single package (and single invoice) containing the instrument/hardware, software, installation, commissioning, training and maintenance. The University proposes awarding (subject to successful grant funding via the MRC medium equipment award 2022) a contract for a suitable device by carrying out an open tender exercise under the Public Contract Regulations.
