This open tender is classified under the goods category, with an overall value of approximately £621,559. The tender period closed on 4th June 2019, while the contract period commenced on 22nd July 2019 and is set to end on 30th September 2019. The location for delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-tech medical equipment and imaging technology. Companies equipped to provide high-resolution optical devices, alongside those with capabilities in high-content imaging used for pre-clinical and clinical research, would be well-suited to compete in this open exercise. The high sensitivity and image quality required align well with those experienced in developing advanced scientific instrumentation, which can catalyse growth in sectors related to healthcare and cancer research. ## Notice The newly founded Weston Park Cancer Centre requires a new laser scanning confocal microscope and a new high content microscope to support its research in basic and translational cancer research. The confocal microscope will be used for high resolution imaging of fixed and live cells including techniques such as FRET, FRAP and laser microirradiation. High sensitivity, image quality and usability are of great importance. The high content microscope will be used for high throughput imaging of fixed and live cells for various pre-clinical and clinical screening purposes. Samples imaged on both systems will mostly be cell monolayers but can also be tissue sections and spheroids. This tender is broken into 2 Lots:- Lot 1 - Laser Scanning Microscope Lot 2 - High Content Microscope This is an EU open exercise.
