Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham procured IntestiCult OGM Human under its SSA process. The requirement is classified as research services and relates to supplying the named IntestiCult OGM Human product or service. The buyer is the University of Birmingham, a public authority based in Edgbaston, Birmingham. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged for the university’s requirements rather than for a wider group of named public bodies. The selected supplier, STEMCELL Technologies UK Ltd, is based at Cambridge Research Park in Cambridge and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses working in research services and the supply of IntestiCult OGM Human.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The University of Birmingham used a direct procurement method, described as below threshold and without competition. One lot was awarded to STEMCELL Technologies UK Ltd. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 5 April 2025. The contract period ran from 6 April 2025 to 30 September 2025. Its value was £66,682.50 including gross value, in GBP. The award relates to research services and the IntestiCult OGM Human requirement. The recorded process used the university’s SSA process, with the contract concluded without a competitive tender. No separate award date is recorded, but the selected supplier and contract outcome are established.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of the University of Birmingham’s demand for IntestiCult OGM Human within a research-services requirement. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be those able to supply the specified IntestiCult OGM Human product or service and support its use in a university research environment. STEMCELL Technologies UK Ltd’s classification as an SME shows that the requirement was fulfilled by a specialist small or medium-sized supplier rather than only by a large corporate provider. Relevant competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate direct product relevance, dependable supply and credible delivery for university research work.
