The tender titled "Tender for Supply, Delivery, Installation & Maintenance of Self-Contained X-ray Cabinet Irradiation Equipment" falls under the laboratory, optical, and precision equipment category. Located at Babraham Research Campus in Cambridge, UK, the procurement stage is currently active with a submission deadline of 12th July 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contract period is set for 1800 days, providing opportunities for businesses in the scientific research sector to bid for this tender. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in laboratory equipment to contribute to pioneering work in healthy ageing and wellbeing research at the Babraham Institute. Businesses capable of supplying advanced X-ray cabinet irradiation equipment suitable for cell culture and whole animal studies will find this tender well-suited for their expertise. With a clear focus on academic and scientific advancements, this tender aims to support cutting-edge research initiatives in signalling, immunology, and epigenetics within the scientific community. ## Notice The Babraham Institute wishes to procure the supply, delivery, installation and maintenance of X-ray equipment for the irradiation of cells in culture and whole animals (mice). In the absence of an appropriate framework agreement, we will be running our own Tender exercise (details below) with the procurement made under the standard Terms and Conditions of the Babraham Institute (available on request). Tender documents available at www.babraham.ac.uk/xray-tender Contact for access to tender documents via e-mail to priya.schoenfelder@babraham.ac.uk . Your response must be returned by email to len.stephens@babraham.ac.uk and priya.schoenfelder@babraham.ac.uk by the deadline of 12th July, 2024. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This tender document is for the procurement of new X-ray cabinet irradiation equipment for the irradiation of cells and animals housed within the Institute's core radiation facility. The new equipment will need to meet existing requirements, i.e. capable of delivering robust, reproducible and comparable irradiation for sublethal and lethal ablation of the haematopoietic compartment of whole animals enabling the study of their immune and haematopoietic cell reconstitution, while also enabling irradiation of cells in culture. The Institute will only consider a package from the same manufacturer comprising both a benchtop cell irradiator and a separate floor-standing cell and animal irradiator; thus streamlining ability to perform cell irradiation experiments interchangeably and reproducibly and to expand capability to meet existing and identified needs. This equipment is core to the pioneering work at the Institute in understanding healthy ageing and improve wellbeing which underpins the Institute Strategic Programmes in signalling, immunology and epigenetics. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017362-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE BABRAHAM INSTITUTE | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB22 3AT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | South Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Duxford | | Westminster constituency | South Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | TLH East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 5 Jun 2024 at 08:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017362-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.babraham.ac.uk - http://www.babraham.ac.uk/xray-tender ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
