This procurement process, located in the East of England and London, aims to lease laboratory equipment that can accommodate at least eight samples simultaneously and meet specific technical requirements. Interested suppliers must submit their expressions of interest before the engagement end date on 29 May 2019. If no submissions are received by the deadline, the buyer intends to make a direct award to a sole supplier. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment rental and sales, particularly those focused on light transmission systems and analysis. Suppliers that can offer equipment that meets the specified CE marking and data export requirements would be especially well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the contracting authority's inclination towards engaging such businesses in this procurement process. ## Notice The agency is looking to lease for 6 month a light transmission aggregometer or equivalent to be able to do the following: - It needs to be able to run at least 8 samples simultaneously using an LED light source and be able to generate data outputs including area under the curve, primary slope, rate, and percent aggregation. - Data must be exportable as comma separated value (csv) format, excel, and/or PDF files. - The system(s) should be fully CE marked. - Due to space limitations, the system(s) footprint should be less than 0.4m wide and 0.4m deep. If you can provide rental of a system(s) that meets these requirements, please email to (nawaz.habib@nibsc.org) to register an interest. 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. We are initially looking at a 6 month rental agreement but if the system(s) proves to be successful for our needs we may seek approval for funds to purchase a system(s) in the near future. This is providing it is of financial benefit to the Agency, e.g. the rental fee to be deducted from the overall purchase. If no submissions (by close of play 03 June 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(s). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8720424-7100-4a67-b6e5-16a2c8fa9188 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Aug 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MHRA BUYER ORGANISATION | | Locality | POTTERS BAR | | Post town | Enfield | | Postcode | EN6 3QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Hertsmere | | Electoral ward | Shenley | | Westminster constituency | Hertsmere | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 33696500 - Laboratory reagents - 71900000 - Laboratory services - 73111000 - Research laboratory services ## Release History - 13 May 2019 at 13:47 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8720424-7100-4a67-b6e5-16a2c8fa9188 - 13 May 2019 at 12:30 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8720424-7100-4a67-b6e5-16a2c8fa9188 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8720424-7100-4a67-b6e5-16a2c8fa9188 13th May 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://mhra.bravosolution.co.uk/web_mhra/login.html MHRA Brovosolution (e-procurement portal).
