## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by the University of Edinburgh for a murine indirect calorimetry system with isotope detection capacity. This procurement falls under the education industry category and is situated in Edinburgh, UK. The contract was awarded on 13 October 2021 following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The buying organisation aimed to acquire the system to ensure interoperability with existing collaborations, with an active contract value of €478,630.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the fields of scientific equipment manufacturing and research technology. Businesses that specialise in high-tech systems for academia, particularly those familiar with indirect calorimetry and animal research methodologies, may find this a suitable opportunity to expand their market presence. With only one bid submitted and won by Sable Systems Europe GmbH, it reflects a competitive landscape where niche expertise can lead to successful procurement outcomes.

## Notice

16-cage multiplexed indirect calorimetry system for mice with temperature monitoring and control.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

We are procuring a 16 cage multiplexed indirect calorimetry system for mice with temperature and light monitoring and control, to include high sensitivity food and water intake monitoring, body mass measurement, XYZ activity and exercise monitoring.

### Procurement Information

Several other EU institutions who are in direct formal collaboration with the University's Centre for Cardiovascular Science, the Queen's Medical Research Institute and, specifically, the research team acquiring this equipment, are already using the subject system. In the interests of interoperability with these collaborators and complementarity of research outputs, it is imperative that the system we acquire offers complete alignment and site-to-site compatibility and comparability of collected data with those from the collaborating laboratories concerned.
