## Summary

The MHRA Buyer Organisation is seeking to procure a semi-automated electrophoresis system for analysing von Willebrand Factor (vWF) multimers. The procurement is currently at the award stage, following a tender process initiated on 29 May 2019. This contract is valued at £20,000 and is set to commence on 21 August 2019, lasting until 20 August 2024. The product will be delivered to locations within the East of England, United Kingdom, and the procurement method is defined as a direct single tender action below the threshold.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for suppliers in laboratory equipment and reagents, particularly for those that specialise in biochemical analysers or electrophoresis reagents. Businesses offering innovative systems that meet the specified requirements are encouraged to register their interest. Given the procurement method, suppliers that can demonstrate a financial advantage through leasing options may find a competitive edge in this tender process.

## Notice

The agency is looking to purchase a Semi-automated electrophoresis system or equivalent for analysing von Willebrand Factor (vWF) multimers in the first instance. The system must be available with a kit to analyse vWF multimers as stated. If you can provide this requirement, please email to Nawaz Habib (nawaz.habib@nibsc.org) to register an interest. Please also indicate a list price range for the system(s) that you think will meet the specifications. This information will ONLY be used to seek fund approval and will not be associated to a particular supplier. We will only use the ranges given. If leasing your system(s) is an option please also indicate how much a lease (i.e. rental fee) would cost to include any maintenance required during this period and/or any bespoke consumables if applicable. We would only consider leasing equipment if there was a financial benefit to the Agency, i.e. after X years lease, the Agency would own the equipment and/or the rental fee deducted from the overall purchase. If no submissions (by close of play 29 May 2019) of potential interest are received, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can supply this system. At this time we would seek a formal quotation from the supplier to include any discounts, maintenance and/or any bespoke consumables (if applicable).
