## Summary

The MHRA Buyer Organisation is initiating a planned maintenance contract for their 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems), with a focus on the repair and maintenance of laboratory equipment. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 25 July 2019. The maintenance contract aims to cover a period of five years, specifying one planned maintenance visit per year, inclusive of a full service and calibration of the equipment. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest via email to Nawaz Habib by the due date.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment maintenance and repair services, particularly those capable of providing calibration kits for PCR instruments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer a standard planned maintenance solution or a comprehensive service package would be ideally suited to compete for this contract. By engaging in this tender, companies can potentially establish a long-term partnership with a key buyer in the medical equipment sector, enhancing their market presence and growth prospects.

## Notice

Agency is seeking to establish a planned maintenance contract for our 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems) for the next 5 years. The contract should provide 1 x PM visit, and must include a full service and calibration of the instrument. The service provider is expected to provide the calibration kit for the PCR instrument to carry out the calibration. We are keen to explore a standard PM contract and a fully comprehensive cover, so we would request details on both. If you can provide a service that meets these requirements, please email to Nawaz Habib (nawaz.habib@nibsc.org) to register an interest. If no submissions (by close of play 25/07/2019) of potential interest are received, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the supplier we believe can provide this service.
