## Summary

The procurement process for the supply and delivery of a Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry System was initiated by Newcastle University, a prominent educational institution located in the North East of England. The tender, referenced as (NU/1488), was set up to enhance the research capacities of the PET Tracer Production Unit (PTPU). It was open until 10 June 2019, with a total budget of £85,000 to cover all associated costs. The award for this tender was granted on 22 July 2019, with the contract effective from the date of award and running until 24 July 2020, under the CPV classification for laboratory equipment.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the supply of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that specialise in advanced laboratory technology or have experience with research-focused equipment development would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts. This tender not only allows for the expansion of research capabilities at Newcastle University but also fosters collaboration with academic institutions, making it a prime opportunity for suppliers in the scientific and medical sectors to grow their business portfolios.

## Notice

The PET Tracer Production Unit (PTPU), within Newcastle University, plans to combine to space for use by PTPU staff and PhD research groups in a joint research and development laboratory. The PTPU, based within the School of Chemistry, was established for the release of in-house prepared and delivered pharmaceuticals, for both clinical trials and patient care. The University plans to combine allotted laboratory space with PhD researchers to expand research collaboration in areas of radioactive moieties. To support this work, a new UPLC-MS system, hereby referred to as LCMS, will be installed within the joint research and development laboratory within the PTPU. The system will primarily be used for research, method development, reaction monitoring, and troubleshooting applications. Additionally, there is scope for the system to be coupled with other mass analysing/injection technologies, such as a mass spectrometer interface for analysing planar surfaces such as TLC plates, papers and biological tissue samples. The total price for the whole system purchase has been capped at PS85,000, tender responses outside this scope will be excluded from further consideration. This is inclusive of all costs, including supply of all equipment (incl. delivery, installation and energy cost), other costs and charges, and minimum Training.
