Effective treatment is possible by blocking the metabolism of methanol to formate by inhibiting alcohol dehydrogenase with fomepizole or ethanol. However, such treatment can only follow early diagnosis of methanol poisoning, ideally within 12-24 hours. Unfortunately, diagnosis is difficult because methanol poisoning is a great imitator, resembling many medical conditions. Diagnosis has previously been complex, expensive, and slow, requiring measurement of blood methanol concentrations in a laboratory. There is therefore an urgent need to develop new forms of early diagnosis. Options: The University reserves the right to procure additional batches of the required goods, which if called upon will be notified through a contract modification notice. Renewal: Up to two additional 12-month periods of extension available. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG486377 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £92,500 | | Lots value | £92,500 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH1 1HT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33600000 - Pharmaceutical products ## Release History - 18 Aug 2023 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG486377 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG486377 Supply & Delivery of Fomepizole - This procurement is for the supply and delivery of the medication Fomepizole to locations in India and Bangladesh as part of the Centre for Cardiovascular Sciences' project; NIHR RIGHT4: Preventing Deaths from Acute Poisoning in Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) - Work Package 1: Methanol ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/hse40.pdf - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000742223 - https://www.ed.ac.uk - https://www.ed.ac.uk/cardiovascular-science/nihr-acute-poisoning - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/go/08026558018A0921125A ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
