## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, which is seeking to acquire a High-throughput Biophysical Instrument for Kinetic Characterisation of biomolecular interactions, with the legal basis under CELEX 32014L0024. Categorised under the CPV code 38000000 for laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, this tender is currently active as part of an open procedure, allowing participation from a wide array of suppliers. The tender period concluded on 20th September 2021, and it is funded by the European Research Council grant SEP-210651063.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment, biophysical instruments, and related services, particularly those with capabilities in supplying, delivering, and installing sophisticated laboratory technology. Companies that can provide after-sales support and maintenance services will be well-suited to compete in this procurement, which is aimed at supporting cutting-edge research activities at Newcastle University’s new chemical biology section.

## Notice

The Kawamura group has recently moved to the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Newcastle and are establishing a new chemical biology section. A large part of the group's work focusses on developing chemical probes for a range of protein targets and as such biophysical characterization of theses probes is a key element of this work. To achieve this we need to purchase a High-throughput Biophysical Instrument for Kinetic Characterisation, to allow us to determine the kinetic parameters and affinities of the generated novel compounds in a high-throughput low sample requirement fashion. This instrument is being funded by the European Research Council grant SEP-210651063. Short title is CPTarget. Title " Cyclic peptide platform as an approach to target validation The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
