In plain English

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), a UK government body, wants to buy a new cell sorter to replace an existing machine. The sorter is a laboratory instrument that separates cells by their characteristics, and the contract also covers supplying and maintaining the specialised consumables and accessories it needs. The estimated value is £475,000.

What the buyer wants

• Supply and install a cell sorter that can isolate specific cell populations, support clonal expansion of cells, and feed into single cell sequencing workflows. • Provide the bespoke consumables and auxiliary equipment needed to run the machine across projects such as cancer genomics, CAR-T cell work, nanobody production, stem cell isolation and microbiome strain isolation. • Maintain the equipment over the contract period, including servicing, repairs and technical support.
