The ITC system is intended to support research in the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences, as well as the Departments of Chemistry, Engineering, and Physics over the next ten years. The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, with the tender expected to close on 21 February 2025, and the contract period starting from 7 March 2025 to 6 March 2027. The estimated contract value is £112,000, and the procurement method used is an open procedure above the threshold for laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of advanced laboratory equipment to contribute to cutting-edge research at a reputable institution. Companies with expertise in the delivery and installation of scientific instruments, as well as those offering comprehensive training and support services, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. With potential for further purchases dependent on future funding, successful participation could lead to long-term business growth and collaboration with Lancaster University. Businesses should take note of the key capabilities required for the ITC system, including user-friendly operation, advanced data analysis, and training for initial users. ## Notice The University is inviting tenders on the terms set out in this ITT for the supply, delivery and installation of an Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) system. A key feature of the equipment will be the ability to measure biomolecular interactions and accurately determine their affinity, enthalpy, entropy and stoichiometry over a wide range of affinities. The system should provide user-friendly operation and data analysis, and training of the initial users must be included. The ITC will be delivered and set up in laboratory space within the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences and is anticipated to also support the research needs of the Departments of Chemistry, Engineering and Physics over the next ten years. The location of the site is Bailrigg Campus, Lancaster, LA1 4YW. There could be a requirement for further purchases, dependent on future funding.
