Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns an active contract titled "NCA30963 GMP Mangafodipir" overseen by the University of Edinburgh, which is located in Edinburgh, UK. The contract falls under the goods category, specifically focused on reagents and contrast media, and has reached the award stage. The contract was signed on 29th July 2021, with a total value of 84,995 USD. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication, due to the specific technical requirements of the product, which necessitated sourcing from a uniquely qualified supplier, Avomeen.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture of complex pharmaceutical products, particularly those with expertise in sterile fill processes. Given that the product mangafodipir is intricate to produce and there are limited suppliers capable of meeting this demand, companies specialising in specialised reagents, contract manufacturing, and biopharmaceutical preparations may find themselves well-positioned to collaborate or compete in future related tenders. With ongoing clinical trials and immediate demand, responsive suppliers could secure opportunities to fulfil urgent requirements in the healthcare sector.

Notice Title

NCA30963 GMP Mangafodipir

Notice Description

Formulation and Good Manufacturing Practice preparation of mangafodipir for clinical use in healthy volunteers and patients.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Under Regulation Reg 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may use the negotiated procedure without the prior publication in the case of a public contract, based on the following justification: 2. Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists);

Options: If the initially feasibility study is successful, the production and stability testing of mangafodipir is included in the procurement at the cost of 244,105 USD excluding VAT.

Procurement Information

For the last 2 years, we have been trying to source further preparations of the mangafodipir. This has included a global search for suppliers which has been unsuccessful. We are working with a Norwegian company to provide the product but has proved unsuccessful although future supplies may be possible in 1-2 years' time. However, we have ongoing clinical trials and need a supply as soon as possible. We have now engaged with Avomeen (Element) who have previous experience with working with the product: this is quite unique with no other supplier having this experience. The product is rather complex to manufacture and formulate and given that they are the only current provider to generate the product and have the expertise, we have gone back to them. They seem to be the only company able to deal with the complexity of manufacture. The other issue is availability. The world's supply and capacity for sterile fill products is severely stretched due to the massive global demand for SARS-CoV2 vaccines. We have worked with Element to try alternative sterile fill premises but there is no capacity in other facilities for the immediate future.
