Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Cardiff University involves the acquisition of Blood Extraction Kits. The university, categorized as a public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, is located in Cardiff, UK. This tender falls under the industry category of medical goods and adopts a 'below threshold - without competition' procurement method. The procurement stage is complete, with contracts awarded on 19th January 2026. The contract period is scheduled from 20th January to 14th March 2026, with Cardiff University purchasing an initial batch of 10 kits. The contract has been awarded to Revvity (UK) Limited and Rexel UK Limited, both supplying these medical kits to be delivered across the region of UKL.
