Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of Foetal Bovine Serum was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, focusing on the animal blood industry category. The direct procurement method was employed as a single tender action due to the technical specialism required for the product, which was considered a sole supply. The tender period ended on 3 January 2019, with the contract effective from 4 January 2019 and scheduled to conclude on 26 June 2020. This process involved a contract value of £60,410 and was located in South West England.
