## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is seeking to procure a "Thrombin Generation System", an automated machine designed to measure thrombin generation in plasma and platelet-rich plasma. This procurement falls under the medical equipment category and is set in the East of England, with a planning stage currently underway. The engagement period for interested suppliers ends on 21 January 2019. If no submissions are received by this deadline, a direct award will be made to the presumed sole supplier.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and medical equipment, particularly those with capabilities in automated testing solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their market presence in the medical sector would be well-suited to participate, especially if they can offer products that meet or exceed the specifications outlined in this procurement. Interested parties should connect with the agency via the provided contact information to discuss their capabilities and express interest in supplying the required equipment.

## Notice

The agency is looking to purchase an automated machine that can measure thrombin generation in plasma and platelet rich plasma using a fluorogenic substrate. We are under the impression that there is only one supplier which can provide this machine. Before we proceed further, I want to check, can you supply these items or equivalent? If you can do this, please feel free to email Nawaz.habib@nibsc.org to register an interest. If no submissions (by close of play 21 January 2018) of potential interest are received it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can supply this machine.
