Coverage: 117 active published awards; 91 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
We are seeking to procure a Light Sheet Microscope to perform high-resolution, long-term time lapse imaging of a broad range of living systems including live cells, mammalian organoids, plant and small vertebrate and invertebrate organisms.
The overall aim of the research is to capture the fast and dynamic changes in a living system over an extended period of time with minimal stress from light and mechanical handling.
We are intending to award a contract to a single supplier for 5-years to include servicing and maintenance services. It is anticipated that the solution should be fully operational by 31st July 2023.
The full technical specification can be found in document ‘UOE.2022.070.MB – Technical Specification and Pricing Schedule’
