This tender, reference PROC JG ITT/1210, invites bids for the supply, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of equipment required for the dissection of individual cells from plant root material, crucial for advancing research in plant biology. The tender is classified under the CPV code 38000000, which covers laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a total contract value of £110,000. Interested suppliers are required to submit their bids by 27 March 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 13 April 2020 and last until 12 March 2024. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and installation services, particularly those with expertise in precision instruments for scientific research. Companies that provide support in maintenance and commissioning of such systems would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Suppliers who can demonstrate experience in the installation of cutting-edge research technologies and those keen on collaborating with academic institutions may find this tender particularly attractive for growth and future partnerships within the industry. ## Notice Laser Microdissection Capture system, Supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of, for dissecting specific individual cells from plant root material for downstream analysis e.g. transcriptomics. This is essential towards understanding the cell-specific mechanisms (regulated by few cells within a tissue or organ) underlying several root anatomical and architectural traits that allow roots to enhance soil exploration for capturing more resources such as nutrients and water under stress conditions and thus confer stress tolerance and improve yield. There are several researcher across university that are interested in using the LCM for their work.
