## Summary

The University of Central Lancashire is seeking extensive high-quality plastinated specimens for the School of Veterinary Medicine. The procurement process is in the award stage with a contract value of £210,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the contract period running from 1st December 2023 to 1st December 2024.

## Notice

The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) requires an extensive collection of high quality plastinated specimens to be used by the School of Veterinary Medicine to complement anatomical teaching and learning. Plastinated specimens must be ethically sourced. The specimens must be true to size, clean, dry and durable, and free from any hazardous substances to enable students to handle without the requirement to wear gloves. These should cover a wide range and variety of species across a range of anatomical regions to enable the students to develop anatomical knowledge across a broad range of animals. The plastinated specimens are particularly important to allow students to gain familiarity with body regions where dissection is often more difficult or limited
