This procurement falls under the medical equipment industry category, specifically focusing on cytometers and associated laboratory reagents. The tender is in the active stage with submissions due by 10 August 2021, and the contract period is set to commence on 10 September 2021 and run until 9 September 2026. The procurement follows an open procedure, which allows for broad participation, and the location for delivery addresses includes the University in Edgbaston, Birmingham (B15 2TT), with deliveries accepted across the United Kingdom and beyond. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, software systems, and laboratory services to engage with the University of Birmingham. Companies involved in the manufacturing and provision of clinical flow cytometers, laboratory reagents, pre-analytical processing systems, and maintenance services would find this tender advantageous. The requirement for trial runs of the instrumentation by leading contenders allows businesses to showcase their products effectively, enhancing their capacity to secure long-term contracts in the healthcare sector. ## Notice 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 Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c206a70-ce5a-4886-b95b-e55257e8bb6d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Sep 2021 - 9 Sep 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM | | Locality | EDGBASTON | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 2TT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 33000000 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 33100000 - Medical equipments - 33141000 - Disposable non-chemical medical consumables and haematological consumables - 33693000 - Other therapeutic products - 33696000 - Reagents and contrast media - 33696500 - Laboratory reagents - 33790000 - Laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware - 33793000 - Laboratory glassware - 38434510 - Cytometers - 38437000 - Laboratory pipettes and accessories ## Release History - 14 Jul 2021 at 19:33 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c206a70-ce5a-4886-b95b-e55257e8bb6d - 14 Jul 2021 at 19:33 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c206a70-ce5a-4886-b95b-e55257e8bb6d - 14 Jul 2021 at 19:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c206a70-ce5a-4886-b95b-e55257e8bb6d - 14 Jul 2021 at 19:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c206a70-ce5a-4886-b95b-e55257e8bb6d - 14 Jul 2021 at 19:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c206a70-ce5a-4886-b95b-e55257e8bb6d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c206a70-ce5a-4886-b95b-e55257e8bb6d 14th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofbirmingham/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
