Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the purchase of four ultracentrifuge rotors from Fisher Scientific U.K., Limited by the University of Nottingham. Classified under the goods category of centrifuges (CPV code: 42931000), this tender was awarded on 22nd April 2022, with a total contract value of £54,213.61. The delivery addresses are located in the East Midlands, England. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action as it fell below the specified threshold.

This opportunity is well-suited for businesses specialising in the supply of laboratory equipment, particularly those with direct access to Sorvall ultracentrifuge rotors.

Notice Information

Notice Title

4 x ultracentrifuge rotors.

Notice Description

The rotors are required for a Sorvall ultracentrifuge. Only ultracentrifuge rotors that are compatible with a Sorvall machine can be used. Therefore Sorvall rotors must be procured. Sorvall is a ThermoFisher brand and the only source for these rotors is Fisher Scientific. They supply direct to customers, or via a third party: two third party suppliers have been identified - VWR and DJB Labcare. The cost associated with buying the Sorvall rotors from VWR and DJB is substantially higher than the cost of buying direct from Fisher.
