## Summary

The University of Strathclyde has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of an instrument designed to measure binding kinetics and thermodynamics parameters in individual cells using a high-throughput format. This initiative focuses on a project supporting a Glasgow-wide initiative in the clinical chemistry industry, classified under CPV code 33159000. Located in Glasgow (UKM82 region), this procurement involved a contract awarded to Dynamic Biosensors GmbH. The procedure was limited and executed without prior publication of a call for competition, a decision justified due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract was intended to commence on 14th July 2025.

This procurement represents significant opportunities for businesses within the clinical chemistry and biotechnology fields. Companies with expertise in advanced biosensor technologies and those capable of providing innovative solutions for single-cell analysis are particularly well-suited to benefit from similar future opportunities. The project is integral to a broader initiative, supporting research and technological advancement in bioanalytical capabilities. Such contracts offer potential growth avenues for firms involved in manufacturing specialised scientific instruments or providing related technical services, given the specialised nature and integration with established research facilities.

## Notice

The Contracting Authority received funding to support a Glasgow-wide initiative that will enable users to measure the binding properties of molecules directly on live cells. To support this research, the Contracting Authority requires an instrument to measure binding kinetics and thermodynamics parameters in individual cells in a high-throughput format.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contracting Authority has received funding to support a Glasgow-wide initiative that will enable users to measure the binding properties of molecules directly on live cells. The equipment will be suitable for a wide range of analyses for eukaryotic cell types and will be underpinned by support from dedicated research technical professionals within the Strathclyde Centre for Molecular Bioscience (University of Strathclyde) and the Integrated Protein Analysis Facility (University of Glasgow). The equipment will be part of the facility enabling the UK userbase integrated access to a breadth of bioanalytical and biophysical facilities to examine cellular binding interactions.

### Procurement Information

The Contracting Authority has received funding for an automated biosensor for single-cell Interaction Cytometry. The instrument allows kinetic characterisation of molecules binding to membrane targets in individual cells.
