## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is seeking suppliers for their tender titled "Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) reader." This procurement falls within the microelectronics industry and is located in the East of England, postal code EN6 3QG. The current stage of this procurement is the award phase, with a contract value of £12,600. The contract commenced on 10th February 2016 and will run until 9th February 2019. The tender period ended on 15th January 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in microelectronic machinery and associated services, particularly those able to provide RFID technology solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find themselves well-suited to compete, especially if they offer innovative and reliable equipment leasing options for tracking and storage solutions at extreme temperatures. Companies with expertise in supplying high-tech equipment for laboratory and cryogenic applications would also be advantageous competitors.

## Notice

The agency has a requirement for of RFIDs for tracking cryogenically preserved materials in 2ml tubes at -196degC. We wish to lease the equipment, rather than purchase as the technology is as yet unproven. The supplier should be able to provide RFID-tagged 2ml sterile cryotubes for purchase and to provide under a lease arrangement two RFID readers- one for reading and registering cryovials in the cell culture laboratory and one to read cryovials in 10x10 cryo storage boxes (132 x 132 x 53mm) in the liquid nitrogen storage facility, as well as associated computer hardware and software for tracking and registering storage locations. The RFIDs must be capable of being read at temperatures below -180degC.
