Summary of the contracting process

Prifysgol Bangor (Bangor University) has completed a procurement process for the purchase of a particle sizer for use by its School of Pharmacy. The contracting process, identified with the tender ID BU082026, was conducted under Welsh devolved regulations and adhered to the legal framework of the United Kingdom's Public Contracts Regulations 2023/54. This procurement falls under the industry category of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products and was executed through a limited procurement method below the threshold, indicating a restricted but competitive bidding approach. The tendering process concluded with an award on 16th February 2026, and the contract, valued at approximately £29,999.99, is slated to remain active until 16th March 2026. The delivery and usage of the equipment will take place in Bangor, within the UK region UKL12.

Opportunities for business growth arise from this tender for manufacturers and suppliers of specialised medical equipment and technology, especially those capable of offering competitive pricing within constrained procurement frameworks. Companies similar to Malvern Panalytical, the awarded supplier, with capabilities in delivering precise analytical instruments, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. By aligning their strategic aims with these focused procurement processes, businesses can leverage opportunities to not only secure agreements with academic institutions like Bangor University but also enhance their visibility and reputation in the education and healthcare sectors.
