OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee is currently conducting a procurement process for the supply of a Biophysical Equipment System, aimed at enhancing biophysical characterisation capabilities essential for research into Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and molecular glues. This tender falls under the goods category within the education industry and is being hosted in Markinch, UK. The deadline for submissions is set for 29 July 2022 at 12:00 GMT, with the tender period closing at the same time. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a diverse range of businesses to participate.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-tech biophysical equipment and molecular characterisation tools, particularly those with capabilities in developing systems that can handle complex sample requirements. Companies focusing on advanced scientific instrumentation or related technologies could find this tender well-suited to their offerings. Engaging in this process could also foster partnerships with academic institutions and enhance visibility within the research community, which is increasingly focused on innovative biophysical methods.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply of a Biophysical Equipment System

Notice Description

Biophysical characterization of binary and ternary complex formations in proximity-inducing compounds is a key step in the iterative improvement of potency of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and molecular glues. In order for us to have the ability to scrutinise the affinity and kinetics of binary and ternary complexes with challenging sample requirements (e.g. low affinity (1-10 uM) complexes, low protein availability, homoPROTACs etc) highly specialised systems are required. The technique will provide a readout of compound/PROTAC affinity while providing insight into additional biophysical parameters, all of which can be critical for compound optimization/prioritization. This tender aims to substantially increase the ability of biophysicists and chemists to assess PROTAC/molecular glue biophysics and will be complimentary to techniques currently available to the new Center for Targeted Protein Degradation (CeTPD) (including SPR, ITC, TR-FRET) while being able to probe interactions that other techniques cannot currently scrutinise. The new machine will be housed in the CeTPD.
