## Summary

The Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC), located in Cheshire, England, is seeking to procure a Tissue Processor under the tender titled "Tissue Processor 0084-DST." This procurement falls within the medical equipment industry category and has a total value of £45,000. The tender period originally ended on 12th February 2021, and the contract's effective dates span from 29th March 2021 to 28th March 2024, inclusive of a warranty provision for installation satisfaction and options for extension. The procurement method is categorised as "Other." Key contact details for further inquiries include Heather Henderson, reachable at heather.henderson@md.catapult.org.uk or by telephone at +44 1625708394.

This tender provides an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the medical equipment sector, particularly those specialising in delivery and installation of medical devices or similar products. Companies capable of offering warranty services alongside their installations would find this procurement particularly fitting, as a one-year reactive onsite warranty is part of the requirements. As MDC has already awarded the contract to Sakura Finetek UK, businesses looking to expand their footprint in the medical field should prepare for future tenders, as they often follow similar patterns.

## Notice

MDC would like delivery and installation of a Tissue Processor by the end of April 2021. Once the Tissue Processor has been installed to the satisfaction of MDC a one-year reactive onsite warranty period will commence which shall include unlimited reactive call-outs and one (1) preventive visit per year.
