This procurement is situated in the medical information systems industry and is proposed to take place at Alderley Park, Cheshire. Currently, the process is at the "active" stage, with a deadline for tender submissions set for 20 February 2021. The contract is anticipated to commence in March 2021 and run until 31 December 2021, with potential extensions available. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, designed under an accelerated rationale due to urgency in the existing contract's timeline. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the healthcare technology sector, particularly those specialising in laboratory information management systems. Companies capable of providing high-quality solutions that comply with ISO15189 standards and can process diverse sample types would be well-suited for this competition. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may leverage this opportunity, as there was a notable interest from such companies during previous bidding rounds. Engaging in this contract could facilitate alliances with MDC and other industry partners, further enhancing business growth and innovation within this critical sector. ## Notice Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) is a national facility for collaborative R&D exploring and developing new approaches to the discovery and proof of well targeted medicines, diagnostics and biomarkers.

Their development is closely supported by both the NHS and Public Health England.
