## Summary

The Medicine Discovery Catapult has awarded a contract for the Supply, Delivery, Installation, and Maintenance of an X-Irradiator. The procurement process was conducted using a competitive quotation method, below the threshold value of £140,000. The contract period will start on December 16, 2022, and end on December 15, 2025. The buyer, Medicine Discovery Catapult, is located in Alderley Park, Macclesfield, UK. The main procurement category is goods, and the tender period ended on July 29, 2022.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses interested in providing radiation dosimeters and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in preclinical X-irradiation technologies and maintenance are well-suited to compete. The awarded supplier, RPS Service Ltd, will play a crucial role in the successful integration of the X-irradiator platform. The location of the project in the North West region of the UK provides a strategic advantage for local businesses seeking to participate in this procurement process.

## Notice

Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) have established a small animal imaging capability that includes PET, CT, US and IVIS technologies. To extend and complement these capabilities, MDC seeks to integrate a preclinical X-irradiation platform into future workflows as an offering to both academic and commercial partners. It is intended that the X-irradiation platform will be situated within the laboratory currently occupied by the Imaging group. This is a new initiative by MDC, and the supplier will need to oversee on-site installation and training and provide recommendations on safety, calibration, and maintenance, and to provide technical support.
