This procurement falls within the goods category and is classified under laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The open procurement method allows for a wide range of bids, and the tender period is set to close on 19th February 2018. The estimated budget for the contract is £90,000, with the contract anticipated to commence on 29th March 2018 and run until 29th April 2018. Interested suppliers must register on HSE's eProcurement portal to participate. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in laboratory equipment and automation solutions. Companies with expertise in developing user-friendly, cost-effective robotic systems that minimise maintenance expenditures will find this contract particularly suitable. Additionally, firms that can ensure high precision and reliability in allergen testing could greatly benefit from participating in this procurement process, helping expand their market presence and credibility in the public sector. ## Notice The Health & Safety's Laboratory (HSL) is inviting tenders for the supply of a Robotic Immunoassay System. HSE's allergen monitoring service currently uses a 8 year old Tecan Evo system, with fixed pipetting probes. This is used primarily to measure by immunoassay low levels of allergens that have been extracted from filters after air sampling. The automated immunassay system is also used in the development of immunoassays. Overall the automation has a medium workload, and would be in use on a daily basis. We are looking to replace the current Tecan Evo instrument. We are looking for a system that can be used by staff who do not have considerable technical knowledge of the equipment and programming software, and will allow us to reduce maintenance expenditure in the future. We understand that the use of dispoable pipettes will incurr increased consumable exposure, but we have some methods where the ability to ensure zero carry-over between samples is necessary. Additional information: The Contract Start and Award dates are estimated & may be subject to change.
