Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The MHRA Buyer Organisation is conducting a tender for the purchase of purified hyperimmune Equine Tetanus Antitoxin, vital for the development of a replacement biological reference material. This is part of the goods procurement category within the animal products industry, specifically located in the East of England, UK. The tender was published on 1st May 2019, and it is open until 14th March 2019 for potential suppliers to express their interest via the provided contact email. The expected value of the contract is £15,000, with a contract period starting from 1st May 2019 and concluding on 30th April 2020.

This tender presents an opportunity for specialised businesses in the field of veterinary medicine and biological products, particularly those able to produce equine-derived therapeutics. Companies capable of meeting the stringent requirements for potency and purity may find this a unique chance to engage with a significant buyer in the public sector. As there is an indication that only one supplier may be capable of fulfilling the request, there may be limited competition, enabling interested businesses to secure a foothold in this niche market if they can demonstrate their capability to meet the specifications outlined.

Notice Title

Purchase of purified hyperimmune Equine Tetanus Antitoxin

Notice Description

The Agency requires the purchase of purified hyperimmune Equine Tetanus Antitoxin for use in the development of a replacement biological reference material. An overview of the requirement is: hyperimmune equine tetanus antitoxin obtained from the repeated immunisation of horses with tetanus toxoid and toxin. The suitable material would have a potency of at least 1,500 IU/ml in a total volume of not less than 5 L and will be purified F(ab)2. Material to be supplied in 2019. As far as we are aware there is only one supplier who is able to meet this very specific request. Potential suppliers if they feel they can meet the requirement should email Nawaz.habib@nibsc.org to register an interest. If no submissions of potential interest are received by close of play 14 March 2019, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can deliver the required service.
