The tender, titled "Provision of single cell western blot equipment," is classified under immunoassay analysers, with a total budget of £20,000. This open procurement opportunity is in the tendering stage and is set to close on 19 December 2019. The successful contract will commence on 20 December 2019 and will last until 31 December 2020. Deliveries are expected in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and biotechnology, particularly those with capabilities in producing advanced immunoassay analysers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability indication. Businesses with experience in microscale separations and immunodetection methodologies will be particularly well-suited to compete, along with those who can meet the specific technical requirements outlined by Public Health England. ## Notice Public Health England (PHE) is seeking to procure single cell western blot equipment its Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards (CRCE). The equipment will be used to research the processes underpinning radiation-induced cardiovascular disease. The current "safe-level" of exposure to radiation that is permissible, is based solely on radiation doses that can cause cancers. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that cancer may not be the only disease that can be induced by radiation. Cardiovascular disease is at the top of the list of potential non-cancer ailments that can be instigated by radiation. The single cell western blot equipment must meet the following mandatory requirements: - The system must be capable of microscale separations, quantitation, and immunodetection of proteins in single-cells and must be able to analyse around 1000 single cells per run. - The system must be compatible with conventional western primary antibodies and standard fluorescently tagged secondary antibodies for immune-probing. - The instrument must have capability of multiplexing at least 2 target proteins per run and must offer possibility of stripping and reprobing with different set of antibodies. - The analysis software must perform automatic detection of lanes and protein peaks and offer automatic peak quantification. Desirable requirement: - Bench-top footprint would be advantage If you feel that you can meet the above requirements please login / register on PHE eSourcing https://phe.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml to access the tender documents ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acf8a7e4-6a0d-426a-b455-e5da497b8479 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | 19 Dec 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Dec 2019 - 31 Dec 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38434580 - Immunoassay analysers ## Release History - 12 Dec 2019 at 14:36 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acf8a7e4-6a0d-426a-b455-e5da497b8479 - 10 Dec 2019 at 06:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acf8a7e4-6a0d-426a-b455-e5da497b8479 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acf8a7e4-6a0d-426a-b455-e5da497b8479 12th December 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/public-health-england Information about our organisation - https://phe.bravosolution.co.uk Access to the tender documents ## Notice URLs - https://phe.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
