## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of "Clone Lentiviral Particles or equivalent".

The engagement end date is set for the same day, and the market engagement notice was published on 10 December 2018.

## Notice

The Agency requires to purchase specified Clone Lentiviral Particles or equivalent. An over view of the requirement is: "The project is based on genetic modification of macrophage cell lines with two tagged genes with lentiviral particles such as - 1. Sp110 (NM_175397) Mouse Tagged ORF Clone Lentiviral Particle and 2, Arl8b (NM_026011) Mouse Tagged ORF Clone Lentiviral Particle. We would like to perform a proof of concept theory in-vitro for pathogens of our interest. Ideally, we are planning to order reagents middle of January 2018 and in-vitro work would last for 2-3 months. If the proof-of-concept study looks promising we are planning to order more plasmids and perform more in-vitro experiments." Potential suppliers if they feel they can meet the requirement should email Nawaz.habib@nibsc.org to register an interest. If no submissions of potential interest are received by close of play 28 December 2018, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can deliver this requirement.
