Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is initiating a procurement process to acquire fresh high-quality fertile chicken eggs suitable for medical research. The tender, titled "Fresh high quality fertile chicken eggs suitable for medical research," falls under the category of animal products and is located in the East of England. This procurement is currently at the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 28 March 2019. Suppliers interested in participating are encouraged to express their interest by this deadline to avoid a direct award to an identified sole supplier.
