## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, seeking to acquire a High-throughput Biophysical Instrument for Kinetic Characterisation of biomolecular interactions. This contract falls under the laboratory, optical and precision equipment category and is located in England, UK. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 20th September 2021. The awarded contract, valued at £211,734.75, has a contract period starting from 23rd November 2021 and ending on 31st January 2022.

This opportunity can significantly benefit companies specialising in laboratory equipment, especially those that can provide high-throughput biophysical instruments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the scientific instrumentation sector, as well as suppliers with expertise in installation and after-sales support, would be well-suited to compete for such tenders. Engaging with Newcastle University can open avenues for further collaborations or contracts in the academic and research sectors.

## Notice

The Kawamura group has recently moved to the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Newcastle and are establishing a new chemical biology section. A large part of the group's work focusses on developing chemical probes for a range of protein targets and as such biophysical characterization of theses probes is a key element of this work. To achieve this we need to purchase a High-throughput Biophysical Instrument for Kinetic Characterisation, to allow us to determine the kinetic parameters and affinities of the generated novel compounds in a high-throughput low sample requirement fashion. This instrument is being funded by the European Research Council grant SEP-210651063. Short title is CPTarget. Title " Cyclic peptide platform as an approach to target validation The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
