## Description
***For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a call for competition. This notice is to inform the market of a Future Opportunity***
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) brings together the seven Research Councils (AHRC, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, NERC, STFC) plus Innovate UK and a new organisation, Research England.
UKRI wishes to establish a Framework for the provision of Antibodies.
It is intended that the Framework will be based upon four LOTS:
LOT 1 - Primary Unconjugated
LOT 2 - Primary Conjugated
LOT 3 - Secondary Unconjugated
LOT 4 - Secondary Conjugated
The objective of this procurement will be to:
a) Produce a Framework Agreement that UKRI can easily use and provide a compliant route to market.
b) Capture a large percentage of the Antibodies requirements from large value items to low value, high volume items.
c) Develop strong relationships with UKRI and Suppliers to ensure that the requirements are captured and value for money is achieved.
d) To capture quality management information that will support informed decision making in future procurements.
e) To ensure sustainability aspects are considered and integrated into the Framework Agreement.
f) To continuously improve and apply best practice procurement that meets the end users' requirements.
****There is no commitment at this stage that the above mentioned opportunity will proceed in its current format****
***GSS23743 Supplier Day***
