## Summary

The procurement process involved Newcastle University, which sought tenders for the supply of Automated Radiochemistry Synthesis Platforms to support ongoing neuroscience research. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, and is located in the North East of England. The tender period concluded on 12 March 2018, and the award was made on 1 October 2018, with a contract value of £253,168, spanning from 12 October 2018 to 6 December 2021. This open procurement method aimed to attract a wide range of suppliers through an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in laboratory equipment and related technologies, especially those focused on radiochemistry or neuroscience-related innovations. Businesses that offer products or services enhancing medical research capabilities, particularly in the fields of dementia and oncology, would be well-placed to compete in this procurement process, potentially leading to collaborations or contracts with a prominent academic institution.

## Notice

The radiochemistry platforms sought, will support ongoing Neuroscience research by facilitating GMPproduction of markers of abnormal protein aggregation (e.g. amyloid, tau, and alpha synuclein) in order to studyin vivo, the pathology of Dementias (Lewy body, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease) and provide proofof mechanism of interventions designed to reverse or remove abnormal oligomers and fibrils - immunotherapy,secretase blockers, anti-aggregants, etc.The tendered platforms will also provide workhorse imaging biomarkers to detect tumours and monitor their function
