The tender, titled "(NU/1850) The Provision of Metabolomic Analysis Services (AbsolutelDQ Bile Acids kit and MxP Quant 500 Kits) for the NASH-DTA Retrospective and Prospective Study", falls under the industry category of research services. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender end date of February 13, 2023, and a contract period starting from February 20, 2023, to March 30, 2028. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the total contract value is £388,000. This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research services to engage with Newcastle University. Companies specialising in metabolomic analysis services are well-suited to compete in this tender. The project's focus on developing better biomarkers for NAFLD offers a significant growth opportunity for businesses in the biomedical research landscape. Interested bidders should take note of the specific requirements outlined in the tender documentation, provided by Newcastle University. ## Notice The Newcastle University Translational and Clinical Research Institute is one of three research institutes established in 2019 following a restructure within the Faculty of Medical Sciences. Its members map across the biomedical research landscape. A number of major research projects are led from within the Institute including the "NASH Disease Translational Accelerator" (NASH-DTA) project. This project funded brings together clinicians and scientists from prominent academic centres across Europe and industrial partners to conduct research into advanced liver disease/cirrhosis caused by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Their common goals are developing, validating and qualifying better biomarkers for NAFLD. Strongly associated with the epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes that are testing healthcare systems worldwide, NAFLD is an increasingly common cause of advanced liver disease that is characterized by substantial inter-patient variability in severity and rate of progression. Biomarkers under investigation in the project include genes that contribute to NAFLD progression. The NASH-DTA project has two parts: retrospective and prospective study. Retrospective study is based on analysing existing samples, prospective study will recruit 200 patients and collect new samples over 5 years. The purpose of this tender process is to engage a supplier to provide metabolomic analysis on plasma samples from both a retrospective and prospective study using AbsolutelDQ Bile Acids kit and MxP Quant 500 Kit. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1c500426-c662-4227-bc4e-453ad40be287 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Feb 2023 - 30 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £388,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 7RU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 11 Jan 2023 at 10:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1c500426-c662-4227-bc4e-453ad40be287 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1c500426-c662-4227-bc4e-453ad40be287 11th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.ncl.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
