## Summary

The University of the West of England is seeking proposals for a tender titled "Laboratory Analyser", aimed at enhancing research capabilities in the fields of cancer biology, metabolic disorders, and neurobiology. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified as molecular microscopes, and is located in Bristol, South West England. The tender period is set to close on 30 May 2017, and suppliers must ensure delivery of the instrument by 31 July 2017, following a successful order. The procurement will be conducted via an open procedure, with a total value of £100,000 and a minimum value of £30,000, along with a request for long-term maintenance costs.

This tender presents an exciting opportunity for businesses involved in scientific equipment and laboratory technologies, particularly those specialising in molecular analysis tools. The focus on high-accuracy instruments for real-time measurement of metabolic processes creates a niche for suppliers with expertise in healthcare-related technologies. Companies that can demonstrate reliability in delivery and after-sales support may find this project particularly beneficial, as ongoing maintenance for the instrument over a five-year period is also anticipated.

## Notice

We wish to purchase an instrument that will measure energy metabolism, including mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis in real-time in up to 8 or 24 wells. Using cells, primary cells, or isolated mitochondria we wish to study the effects of drugs, inhibitors or substrates on key metabolic pathways involved in areas such as cancer biology, metabolic disorders and neurobiology research. We are interested in observing the real-time change in cellular oxygen consumption rate, fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis. This instrument should provide a reliable platform offering reproducible and accurate assessments within and between runs. Please can you include your price and warranty period and any subsequent maintenance costs for up to 5 years. If we move to purchase will must have delivery by 31.07.17 so please provide your delivery time from receipt of order.
