UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University procured 18FDG radiopharmaceuticals for use in its activities. This is a purchase of pharmaceutical goods rather than a works or services contract. The requirement covers 18FDG, a radiopharmaceutical used in diagnostic imaging, and delivery is to Wales. Cardiff University is the buying organisation and is subject to Welsh devolved procurement regulations. The procurement was structured as one lot and relates to a framework arrangement. Suppliers operating in the radiopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical supply sectors are the relevant commercial audience, particularly businesses able to provide 18FDG reliably for a public university customer. The named requirement is specific rather than a broad medicines supply opportunity, so relevance depends on experience supplying this product or an equivalent radiopharmaceutical range.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 May 2026 through a selective procedure under a framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. One lot was awarded to Alliance Medical Radiopharmacy Limited. The award and contract value is £1,244,000 excluding VAT, or £1,308,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement is above the relevant threshold. The stated procurement method is an award under framework, and the process was recorded as non-competitive. No separate award criteria or weighting are reported for this call-off, so the available information does not identify a price, quality or other evaluation split.

This award confirms Cardiff University’s demand for a substantial, dedicated supply of 18FDG radiopharmaceuticals through a framework route. A future competitor would need a business able to supply this named product consistently to Wales, manage the operational requirements associated with radiopharmaceutical distribution, and support a public university customer throughout the contract term. The incumbent is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the requirement can suit businesses with established production, sourcing, quality-control and delivery capacity rather than only small specialist operators. Relevant experience in pharmaceutical supply and radiopharmacy would help demonstrate credibility. Suppliers should also be prepared to work within framework arrangements and public-sector purchasing processes, since this requirement was awarded through an existing framework rather than an open standalone competition.
