Description

Newcastle University are looking to procure a samples management system. The University uses a samples management system that was implemented in 2012 but is no longer fit for purpose. Several issues have been identified with this system, leading us to consider an alternative solution. The strategic aims of the project are: • To implement a system which will help to provide the infrastructure for high quality translational research - including clinical trials undertaken as part of undergraduate and post graduate research projects. • To manage the University tissue databanks for researchers across the campus as well as provide access via web. • Access to large numbers of well characterised samples which will enable Newcastle University to maintain its competitive position in relation to other Universities in the Russell Group. • To provide the tools for the University to continue to be a Centre of Excellence for translational research within the Northeast region. The key benefits/outputs and deliverables are: • Provide sample visibility and sample tracking with full audit trail. • Import existing samples and related information. • Provide a web-based facility that is accessible from outside our network and potentially to external users. • Implement a level of authorisation and project-based as well as user-based access to the databases. • Provide reports by single instance and consolidated reports. • Provide 2D Bar code system. The selected vendor is expected cover the following: • Provision of a comprehensive samples management system compliant to regulations, to receive and store samples, make derivatives, facilitate change of location and reporting etc., • Configure the solution to meet the University's requirements. • Deliver training sessions & user guides for end-users and administrators. • Provide ongoing support and maintenance services.
