The Walton Centre is the only hospital trust in the UK dedicated to providing comprehensive neurology, neurosurgery, spinal and pain management services. The Neuroscience Laboratories within The Walton Centre offer a specialist repertoire of Neurobiochemistry, Neuroimmunology and Neuropathology tests. In our Neurobiochemistry department we are in need of a small, automated clinical chemistry analyser.

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust (the ‘Authority’) is issuing this invitation to tender (‘ITT’) in connection with the competitive procurement for the provision of a clinical chemistry analyser.

This ITT Section A contains further information about the procurement process.

ITT Section B contains the questions that Bidders must complete. Each Bidder's response (‘Tender’) should be detailed enough to allow the Authority to make an informed award decision.

All Tenders must be returned no later than the deadline for receipt of Tenders specified on the front cover of this ITT.

The Authority is using the Due North Pro Contract e-tendering portal to conduct the procurement process (‘the e-Tendering Portal’). The e-Tendering Portal can be accessed at https://procontract.due-north.com/Login. All communications (including submission of Tenders) should be carried out via the e-Tendering Portal.
