The contract was signed on November 15, 2022. The procurement stage was an award, and the main procurement category was goods. The contract aims to evaluate individual cytokines like IP10 and IL2, providing opportunities for businesses in the bovine cattle and protein substances industry.

Aberystwyth University issued a tender titled "RFQ - ELISA Plates" for evaluating cytokines in cattle. The tender deadline was October 10, 2022. The university seeks suppliers capable of delivering innovative solutions related to bovine cattle and protein substances. The procurement method was open, and electronic responses were accepted via the Postbox facility, providing opportunities for consortia bidding. The tender process can benefit companies specialising in relevant goods and services seeking growth through public procurement contracts.

## Notice

The Ser Cymru Team at Aberystwyth University are conducting experiments to evaluate the immune response of cattle to M. bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis. To evaluate these responses we stimulate blood from cattle with mycobacterial antigens and determine the secretion of individual proteins into the supernatant of stimulated cells. The secreted proteins we are seeking to evaluate as individual cytokines include IP10 and IL2. We are seeking to evaluate up to 24,000 individual samples for each of these cytokines; which in a normal ELISA plate would equate to a total of 600 plates for each cytokine. To a much lesser extent, we also seek to evaluate other cytokines such as IL22, IL-13, IL15, IL10, IL21 and IFNg
