## Summary

The MHRA Buyer Organisation is in the planning stage of procuring a Rapid Micro-Particle Concentrator, aimed at enhancing the surveillance and detection of poliovirus in environmental water samples. This tender involves a specific volume reduction process, requiring the ability to reduce volumes from 5L to 150µL at a set processing rate of 100ml/min. The engagement period is ongoing, and interested suppliers must register their interest via email by the deadline of 12 March 2019, or a direct award will be made to a pre-identified sole supplier. The procurement is focused on the laboratory reagents industry, applicable to businesses situated in the East of England.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory reagents and research laboratory services, especially those equipped to meet the stringent requirements of the contract. Companies with expertise in environmental testing technologies or micro-particle concentration processes could find this procurement particularly advantageous. Engaging in this tender could lead to significant business growth, either through direct contract awards or by establishing connections within the public procurement framework.

## Notice

The Agency is looking to purchase a Rapid Micro-Particle Concentrator to enable surveillance and detection of poliovirus in environmental water samples. Volume reduction must be from 5L to 150ul at a process rate of 100ml/min using a wet foam elution process.' As far as we are aware there is only one supplier who is able to meet this very specific request. 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 12 March 2019, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can deliver the required product.
