Summary of the contracting process

The Durham University has completed a procurement process for the purchase of a Mass Spectrometer through a tender process. The University intends to award the contract to Bruker UK Ltd. The procurement falls under the goods category and involves the acquisition of ion mobility mass spectrometer with liquid chromatography system for a proteomics facility. The key features required include high sensitivity, fast scan speeds, and the capability to perform real-time database searches of peptide spectra. The total contract value is £765,275.00 GBP.

This tender for the Mass Spectrometer presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the scientific equipment manufacturing sector to engage with Durham University in providing cutting-edge analytical hardware. Companies with expertise in developing high-resolution mass spectrometers capable of sensitive peptide detection and chromatographic separation are well-suited for this procurement opportunity. The negotiated procurement method without contract notice publication signifies the specific technical requirements that only a limited number of specialised suppliers like Bruker UK Ltd can fulfil.

Notice Title

Mass Spectrometer

Notice Description

The University has a requirement to purchase an ion mobility mass spectrometer with associated liquid chromatography system for a dedicated proteomics facility. The University has published this VEAT notice and intends to award a contract to Bruker Ltd, following the expiry of 10 days from the date of publication of this notice.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University has a requirement to purchase an ion mobility mass spectrometer with associated liquid chromatography system for a dedicated proteomics facility. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) equipment must have the capability for sensitive detection and quantification of peptides derived from proteins by enzymatic digestion, including those with protein post-translational modifications. The equipment must comprise a state-of-the-art high resolution/accurate mass tandem mass spectrometer, integrated nano-flow liquid chromatography (LC) system, ancillary equipment required for their operation and computer hardware/software for instrument control and data-processing. The University has published this VEAT notice and intends to award a contract to Bruker Ltd, following the expiry of 10 days from the date of publication of this notice.

Procurement Information

The systems must have the following key features: * Achieve high sensitivity and near 100% ion utilisation through the use of trapped ion mobility or other technologies * Capable of separating chromatographically co-eluting positional isomers of peptides containing post-translational modifications by trapped ion mobility. * Provide high MS/MS scan speeds exceeding 120 Hz, to allow for high throughput sample analyses using short chromatographic gradients whilst maintaining high peptide identification rates * Perform real-time database searches of peptide spectra in order to deliver a complete peptide database search result by the end of the run. * Capable of measuring and incorporating Collisional Cross Section (CCS) values into the database search algorithm to improve peptide identification rates. * Capable of highly selective targeted assays such as Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM), ideally by selecting peptide targets through a combination of mass over charge and ion mobility * Mirror new proteomic analytical hardware provided to a partner laboratory and enable method and technology transfer between the labs.
