Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM, seeking services for metabolite analysis (short chain fatty acids) in human serum samples. This falls under the research laboratory services category, with the contract value set at £25,000. The procurement method used is a direct approach via a single tender action, and the current procurement stage is awarded as of 22nd April 2022, following a tender period that ended on the same date. The contract period is established from 22nd April 2022 to 30th April 2024, with delivery expected in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research laboratory services, particularly those that can deliver metabolite analysis with a focus on short chain fatty acids. Companies that have experience in laboratory research and analysis, especially those capable of directing their services towards clinical applications, would be particularly well-suited to enter this competitive space. Given that the services were designated to Metabolon based on existing collaboration, vendors with proven capabilities and established relationships within similar contexts may find advantageous positions to compete for future contracts.
