UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham procured DHA tablets supplied in packs of 28 capsules for the Miscarriage MAMS clinical trial. This is a goods requirement for clinical products, intended to support the trial’s treatment or research activity. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the University of Birmingham, a public authority based in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The requirement concerns a defined pharmaceutical product rather than general medicines supply, clinical services or research support. Businesses relevant to this market include pharmaceutical manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist clinical-trial supply companies able to provide DHA tablets in the specified pack format and support delivery to a UK university or research setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Strides Pharma UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 20 January 2025 and runs from 21 January 2025 to 25 April 2025. Its value is £61,740 gross, including any applicable taxes. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also recorded as active. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s stated SSA process. The procurement was for goods and was treated as below threshold. The selected supplier is a UK-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The award covers the DHA tablet clinical-product requirement for the Miscarriage MAMS trial.

This award shows that the University of Birmingham buys a specified DHA tablet product for a named clinical-trial requirement, using a direct below-threshold route. A credible future supplier would need dependable access to the required pharmaceutical product, the ability to supply 28-capsule packs accurately, and suitable controls for product quality, traceability, storage and delivery. Experience supporting clinical trials or supplying medicines to universities, hospitals or research organisations would help demonstrate that the supplier can meet controlled purchasing and fulfilment requirements. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, authorised wholesalers and specialist clinical-trial distributors are the closest competitors. The selected supplier’s SME status also indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national provider.
