Clinical flow cytometry is currently performed within the Haematopathology and Oncology Diagnostic Service (HODS) and Immunology departments based in 2 separate locations at Addenbrookes's Hospital. 1. The HODS service is a regional specialist integrated diagnostic and follow-up service for Haematological neoplasms, serving a population of approximately 4 million. HODS perform a wide range of highly complex flow cytometry assays (8-10 colours) including those for monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD). Current workload is around 20,000 assays per year. 2. Immunology at CUH provide a routine diagnostic service of nearly 6,000 tests a year. In collaboration with Clinical and research teams across the Trust, Immunology are expanding their existing repertoire, to support diagnosis of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The requirements are anticipated to include: - Provision of flow cytometry instrumentation (at least two separate flow cytometry systems will be required due to location of clinical laboratories) - Provision of reagents to support a wide range of diagnostic assays across the two services - Provision of pre-analytical automation solutions - Digital connectivity solutions including off-line analysis and integration into EPIC EPR. The Authority wishes to involve the market in discussing the following general points: - Current market and market interest in this project - Available contracting models (incl. reagent rental and lease agreement) - Currently available or novel solutions for refining the whole workflow process through pre-analytical, analytical, post analytical phases - Innovation and opportunities (for example Spectral Flow Cytometry) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 38434510 - **Delivery regions:** UKH - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/08/2027 to 31/08/2032 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F065486-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-07-13T09:30:45.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-26T15:15:41.082Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-069762
