## Summary

The University of Birmingham is currently conducting a tender for the provision of flow cytometry instrumentation and reagents for its Haemato-Oncology Diagnostic Service, classified under the goods category. This open procurement process, with the tender period closing on 10 August 2021, seeks to acquire at least two advanced clinical flow cytometers along with modern pre-analytical sample processing systems. Suppliers are required to present responses detailing instrumentation, software, reagents, maintenance, and training options. The contract is set to span from 10 September 2021 to 9 September 2026, with the delivery address located in Birmingham, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in clinical laboratory equipment and reagents, particularly those offering innovative flow cytometers and automation solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate as they may meet the specific requirement for demonstration and trial runs of their products. Suppliers with capabilities in instrumentation maintenance and training services will also find this opportunity well-suited for growth, as the University aims to enhance its diagnostic capabilities in clinical immunology over the next 5-10 years.

## Notice

All CPV Codes for this project: 38434510, 33141000, 33693000, 33696500, 33790000, 33793000, 38437000, 33696000, 33100000 The main objective of this Tender is to enable the acquisition of at least two state-of-the-art clinical flow cytometers which will take on the next 5-10 year cycle of clinical diagnostic immuno-phenotyping work carried out in the Clinical Immunology Service. We also require modern pre-analytical sample processing systems to enable greater automation and sample throughput, in turn augmenting assay standardisation and reproducibility. Responding suppliers must respond to the listed specification points covering all aspects such as instrumentation, software/hardware, reagents, maintenance, training and service contract options (see Tender spec document and Appendix 2 CIS Flow panels document). Costs must be shown in Pricing Schedules under the different 5+2 contract term options available. The supplier responses will then be assessed for each set of criteria. The University of Birmingham would also require a demo/trial run of instrumentation supplied by the leading contender(s) as a final hands-on assessment
