Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia, located at Norwich Research Park, Earlham Road, Norwich, has completed a direct procurement tender for preclinical studies related to drug development. The tender, which falls under the industry category of 'Medicinal products for the alimentary tract and metabolism' (CPV code 33610000), involved in vitro metabolic stability and comparative metabolism studies. The tender was awarded to Charles River Laboratories Edinburgh Limited. The procurement stage is 'Award', with key dates including the end of the tender period on 27 August 2024 and the contract period spanning from 2 September 2024 to 30 November 2024. The procurement method used was a single tender action below the threshold.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for pharmaceutical research companies and SMEs specializing in preclinical trials and metabolic studies. Given the focus on drug development and the intimate nature of the procurement method, smaller, specialized firms that can provide high-quality, targeted research would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Additionally, businesses that excel in conducting in vitro binding studies and those with existing expertise in pharmaceutical metabolism may find this sector particularly rewarding.
