## Summary

The University of Manchester is conducting a tender for the replacement of in vitro and in vivo X-ray irradiation systems, essential for ongoing research activities at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute (CRUK MI). This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically targeting the supply of X-ray devices, with a focus on enhancing laboratory capabilities. The tender is currently in the active stage and must be submitted by 4th December 2017. Transitioning to a contract is expected to begin on 19th December 2017 and extend until 28th February 2018. The delivery addresses for proposals must be within the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically to the postal code M20 4BX.

This opportunity presents a valuable prospect for businesses engaged in the supply of scientific and laboratory equipment, particularly those specialising in radiation and X-ray technology. Companies that have experience in providing precision apparatus or related goods may find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. The accessible procurement method of an open procedure invites a broad range of suppliers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to participate and potentially contribute to the recovery of critical research operations at CRUK MI.

## Notice

The Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute (CRUK MI), originally named The Holt Radium Institute in 1932, has a long history of using radiation in research. On site there was two closed source cell irradiation system for dosing cells and solutions based around a Gulmay/Xstrahl irradiators which could achieve up to forty Gray in a controlled and monitored manner. The current system is used 1,400 hours a year across thirty-four research groups. Due to the fire at CRUK MI two replacement biological irradiation systems are required. There is a pressing time-critical requirement to bring back the ability of cell and in vivo irradiation to the research groups.
