Notice Title

Toxicology Services

Notice Description

The University invites competitive Tenders for the provision of toxicology services in relation to the conduct of an extended single dose toxicology study.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University invites competitive Tenders for the provision of toxicology services in relation to the conduct of an extended single dose toxicology study in rats. The project revolves around the GLP toxicology testing of test substances according to requirements set out in the ICH M3 for supporting studies for human microdosing. The study will involve microdosing an imaging reagent via intravenous injection, with the intention to rapidly detect and quantify heart inflammation by combining the radiotracer with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging.

Options: Suppliers can include prices for additional SEND packages that are not included in the tender.

Renewal: There is the possibility that the University will need similar toxicology studies in the future, however this is dependant on funding allocation. See tender documents for details.
