Description

Unite Procurement UK Limited (part of Unite Holding SE), acting on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), invites suppliers to register interest in joining the Unite Procurement Platform to support the supply and ongoing support of an Automated Analyser for immunoassay analysis.
A fully automated analyser for immunoassay analysis. The analyser must be stand alone and therefore both the water feed and waste collection must be bottled. The analyser must be benchtop and have a minimal footprint to be accommodated in the facility. The analyser must be marked as an in-vitro diagnostic device. The analyser must be capable of measuring a wide range of markers in blood, including anaemia markers (ferritin, folate, B12), bone markers (vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, PINP, CTx), and hormones (oestradiol, testosterone, progesterone, luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormones, sex hormone binding globulin, cortisol, thyroid hormones).

Unite Procurement UK Limited does not intend to appoint a sole supplier. Multiple suppliers may be onboarded to the Unite Procurement Platform to maintain a competitive supply base. Applications will be considered by the stated closing date (for early consideration) and may also be accepted on a rolling basis thereafter.
