Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process carried out by UK Research and Innovation, located at Polaris House, Swindon, United Kingdom, involves the design and production of a customised mouse model. Classified under the industry category of research laboratory services, this contract awards Guangzhou MingCeler Biotech Co., Ltd as the supplier. The tender process, identified by the title CSP26449, was completed without competition due to technical reasons, as only one particular supplier could meet the requirements. The procurement, facilitated by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, followed a direct procurement method below threshold, and the contract is active from 21st April 2026 to 22nd April 2026, with an estimated gross value of USD 18,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in biotech research and customised scientific model production, particularly those capable of providing specialised laboratory services. Given the absence of competition in this procurement, businesses with unique technical capabilities might be well-suited for similar future contracts. The opportunity may not suit larger corporations, as it reflects a preference for direct procurement with specific suppliers, typically Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that possess niche technical expertise. Interested parties should consider developing relationships for direct procurement opportunities that leverage their specialised services.
