This tender falls under the industry category of specialty design services and is located in Leicester, East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is at the tender stage, with submission deadlines set for 13th March 2019. The process is being executed via an open procedure, allowing multiple suppliers to participate, and the contract period is expected to commence on 19th March 2019, lasting until 13th March 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the medical device sector or with expertise in product design and engineering. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in developing medical technologies or design services may find this contract suitable for their capabilities. Firms experienced in creating innovative medical devices could leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio and potentially build strategic partnerships with De Montfort University and the associated SME partner, Olberon Ltd. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A RE-ISSUED REQUIREMENT De Montfort University (DMU) invites bids from suitably experienced providers for the development of a biopsy device. The SME Partner Company (Olberon Ltd) have developed a prototype vibrating needle biopsy device that uses the mechanism from a wind-up torch. The prototype device has a handle with a trigger that is gripped fully with a power grip (i.e. pistol grip) with the spring-loaded trigger being operated by the fingers. Olberon would like to build on the research in this area by developing and launching a vibrating biopsy device product. The device should be manually operated for both capturing the sample and deploying the vibration (i.e. no electricity should be used). No formal size dimensions have been specified, but it is understood that the hardware for the device should be similar in size to existing biopsy units on the market.
