## Summary

The University of Warwick has awarded a contract for a mass photometer instrument for the Advanced Bioimaging Research Technology Platform. This procurement falls under the Laboratory, optical and precision equipment industry category with a contract value of GBP 170,000. The tender period ended on 21st October 2022, and the contract will run from 8th November 2022 to 8th November 2023. The University of Warwick located in Coventry, West Midlands, has facilitated this open procedure tender for goods.

This procurement opportunity provides openings for SMEs and VCSEs interested in supplying measuring and control equipment. Businesses in the laboratory equipment sector catering to the life sciences, chemistry, physics, and engineering domains would find this tender well-suited for participation. The University of Warwick, as the buying organisation, aims to enhance its bioimaging capabilities and expertise through this procurement, benefitting both internal researchers and external users from various disciplines.

## Notice

The University of Warwick has a requirement to purchase a mass photometer instrument for the Advanced Bioimaging Research Technology Platform (RTP). The Advanced Bioimaging RTP helps researchers answer their scientific questions using state-of-the-art 3D electron microscopy and light microscopy imaging equipment. Our strategy is to offer this advanced bioimaging capability and the expertise to deliver high impact results to researchers both at Warwick and beyond. The Advanced Bioimaging RTP provides the training and expertise required to operate the equipment as well as providing a service to users. Due to successful funding from BBSRC, Alert14 and more recently the founding of the Midlands Regional CryoEM Consortium (established 2017 through PS4.9M funding from MRC and partner universities Warwick, Leicester, Birmingham and Nottingham), we have one high-end microscope (Jeol 2200 FEG-TEM with internal energy filter) and a state-of-the-art camera (Gatan K2 Summit Direct electron detector), a Jeol 2100plus cryo-transmission electron microscope suitable for cellular specimens, sample characterisation and user training, and access to a FEI Titan Krios transmission electron microscope for state-of-the-art high resolution structure determination work. In order to support characterisation of challenging samples for structural biology using cryo-electron microscopy we seek a mass photometer instrument that will enable us to measure particle size distributions in complex protein samples. The Advanced Bioimaging RTP is service-oriented, and has users from multiple disciplines (Life sciences, chemistry, physics and engineering), therefore ease of use and reliable performance are essential. In order to express interest in this opportunity please go to the University of Warwick In-Tend supplier portal (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofwarwick). The University of Warwick is not a contracting authority for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and its procurement activities are not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the obligations under the European Public Procurement Directives, including the European Remedies Directive.
