## Summary

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust is procuring two tandem mass spectrometers for developing in-house pharmacokinetic (PK) and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) services. The procurement falls under the mass spectrometer classification (CPV 38433100) and the general industry category of biomedical equipment. This procurement process is open and electronic submissions are accepted until 21st February 2025. The equipment will be delivered to the UK region (UKI). The contract value is estimated at £500,000, and the procurement is currently in the tender stage, which was initiated on 21st January 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of advanced biomedical equipment, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometers coupled with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Companies capable of providing high-quality, reliable instrumentation and accompanying accessories, such as autosamplers, nitrogen generators, and vacuum pumps, are well-suited to compete. Securing this contract can enhance business reputation and open doors for future procurement opportunities with NHS trusts and other healthcare organisations.

## Notice

The Authority has a requirement for two tandem mass spectrometers for a new service to develop in-house pharmacokinetic (PK) / therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) services. These should be triple quadrupole instruments each coupled to ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) hereinafter referred to as a "system". Each system should include an autosampler, nitrogen generator, ion bench (or equivalent) to house each instrument, appropriate vacuum pumps, column manager and all necessary computer/VDU/ computer-related accessories. Systems do not necessarily have to be identical but each system must satisfy the specification.
