The procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the threshold without competition, aiming to procure six bioreactors and associated consumables. The procurement stage has been completed with the contract awarded on 22nd June 2026 and active since 23rd June 2026. The contract, valued at £74,830, will run until 22nd June 2029.
