Notice Title
Supply, Delivery, Installation and Commissioning of an Automated Dosing Platform for CMAC
Notice Description
This Contract Non-Award Notice relates to a tender to provide the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation centre (CMAC) with an Automated Dosing Platform to operate in their existing world class research facility in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde. This Lotted Contract was to be awarded in whole, in part or not at all. A sole supplier was to be appointed to the each of the awarded Lots. The platform would integrate with third party workflow software to dose specific amounts of solids and/or liquids to vials of a given size. CMAC were looking for solid and liquid dosing capability from the offered system(s). Tenderers were able to submit a bid for either as a single combined solid & liquid dosing system or as a separate solid dosing platform and/or liquid dosing platform.
Lot Information
Solid Dosing System
For this Lot, the automated solid dosing platform was required to dose a wide range of pharmaceutical powdered solids into an array of different containers. The material and amount to be dosed will be determined by third party workflow software. The controlling software for the solid dosing platform software must be able to integrate with third party workflow software and a liquid dosing system, as well as an automated balance, capping station and robotic arm (if not supplied as part of the solid dosing station). The solid dosing platform must fit inside a standard fumehood alongside a liquid dosing platform and an automated robotic arm must be able to access the vials that the been dosed and transport them to a table outside the fumehood.
Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
Liquid Dosing SystemThe automated liquid dosing platform was required to dose a wide range of liquids into an array of different containers. The liquid and amount to be dosed will be determined by third party workflow software. The controlling software for the liquid dosing platform software must be able to integrate with third party workflow software and a solid dosing system, as well as an automated balance, capping station and robotic arm (if not supplied as part of the liquid dosing station). The liquid dosing platform must fit inside a standard fumehood alongside a solid dosing platform and an automated robotic arm must be able to access the vials that the been dosed and transport them to a table outside the fumehood.
Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
Combined Solid and Liquid Dosing systemThe automated combined solid and liquid dosing platform was required to dose a wide range of pharmaceutical powdered solids and liquids into an array of different containers. The material/liquid and amount to be dosed will be determined by third party workflow software. The controlling software for the combined solid and liquid dosing platform software must be able to integrate with third party workflow software, as well as an automated balance, capping station and robotic arm (if not supplied as part of the combined solid and liquid dosing station). The combined solid and liquid dosing platform must fit inside a standard fumehood and an automated robotic arm must be able to access the vials that the been dosed and transport them to a table outside the fumehood.
Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations.
