This procurement falls under the miscellaneous medical devices and products category and is located in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. The tender process is currently active, with submissions due by 5th February 2021. The total contract value is estimated at £420,000, with a minimum value of £380,000. This is an open procedure tender, allowing all interested parties to participate. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical device technology, particularly those focused on advanced manufacturing techniques involving live cells. Companies with expertise in two-photon polymerisation systems or those capable of custom resin fabrication would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract can aid in expanding market presence, building partnerships with academic institutions, and enhancing innovation in the medical devices sector. ## Notice The University of Nottingham's Biodiscovery Institute are looking to procure a two-photon polymerisation system capable of structuring materials with live cells incorporated. The system shall be capable of structuring traditional resins at 500 nm or better process resolution, and cell-containing resins at 50 mm or better process resolution. Furthermore, the system shall be as flexible as possible in order to allow fabrication with custom resins without voiding the system warranty and be capable of processing multiple samples at once.
