Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has completed the procurement process for its "Environmental Monitoring and Sterility Testing" services, located in Cardiff, United Kingdom. As a public authority governed by Welsh devolved regulations, the university has utilised a direct procurement method for this tender, classified under the industry category of miscellaneous services. The procurement stage is now at the contract award phase, with the contract signed on 31 July 2025, and it will remain active from 1 August 2025 to 31 January 2026. The total contract value is £87,500, and it's below the competition threshold, thereby proceeding without competition.

This tender presents noteworthy opportunities for businesses capable of providing environmental monitoring and sterility testing services. Given that Cardiff University opts for a direct procurement approach, small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those that offer specialised services in sterility testing and environmental monitoring, may find this an attractive opportunity to establish a business relationship with a prominent educational institution. The awarded contract to Cormica Limited, an SME based in London, highlights the type and scale of business that would be well-suited to compete for such tenders in the future. This can serve as a platform for further business growth and network expansion across the UK.
