## Summary

The University of Salford is undertaking a procurement process for a Precision CellRad+ Cell Irradiation System, identified under the OCID ocds-h6vhtk-0587ce. Despite being cancelled as of 18th August 2025, it adds invaluable context to the initial active status dated 14th August 2025. This tender fell into the 'goods' category, specifically under X-ray and miscellaneous medical devices. Positioned in Salford, United Kingdom, it was an open competition, with a below threshold classification and set to conclude the tender process by 31st August 2025. The contract period was expected from 15th September 2025 to 15th April 2026, offering a gross value of £99,000 GBP. 

This procurement opportunity would have been beneficial for businesses specialising in radiation devices, medical technology, and related fields. Companies with expertise in cancer cell biology, tissue and stem cell research, or those capable of supplying high-quality, sustainable X-ray systems would have been well-placed to compete. The requirement for responsive customer service, maintenance, and sustainability practices reflected significant award criteria, emphasizing the system's innovative Automatic Dose Control (ADC) and ease of laboratory integration for versatile experimental applications. This tender presented a key opportunity for SMEs familiar with providing specialised medical equipment to expand their clientele and capabilities in serving educational institutions.

## Notice

Precision CellRad+ Cell Irradiation System is a state-of-the-art benchtop X-ray irradiation platform designed for continuous, controlled cell irradiation. This advanced system provides a safer, costeffective, and sustainable alternative to gamma radioisotope-based irradiation, eliminating the need for isotope handling, storage, and disposal. Its compact design and built-in shielding allow installation directly within the laboratory, without the requirement for costly infrastructure modifications. The CellRad+ is simple to operate, requiring no specialised X-ray knowledge, and features an intuitive touchscreen interface with password-protected access. It plugs into any standard A/C outlet and includes an integrated dosimeter with advanced Automatic Dose Control (ADC) for precise dose setting and reproducibility. Automatic warm-up extends tube life, and the system supports remote diagnostics and web-based support from product specialists for minimal downtime. The system operates across an energy range of 10-150 kV with a maximum current of 6.25 mA, allowing versatile irradiation settings for different experimental requirements. An electrically operated turntable (2 RPM) ensures uniform dosing, while the integrated closed-loop heat exchanger maintains optimal operational stability. The irradiation chamber (W 12" x D 12" x H 14") accommodates a wide range of sample formats, with a beam coverage of 12" (30 cm) and sourceto-sample distance of 17" (44 cm). The system is NRTL certified by Intertek for electrical safety and maintains an Excel-based exposure/user log that can be exported via USB for audit and compliance purposes. These features make the CellRad+ ideally suited for applications including cancer cell biology, tissue and stem cell research, nanoparticle studies, and immunotherapy investigations.
