Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) procured BioSolve process simulation software. The requirement is classified under laboratory services and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a software-based service opportunity for suppliers providing process simulation tools to support laboratory or related technical activities. The buyer is MHRA, a central government public authority based in London. The procurement covered one requirement rather than a set of separately described lots. The awarded supplier, Biopharm Services Ltd, is based in Beaconsfield, although the delivery location is the UK as a whole. Businesses active in process simulation software, laboratory technology or specialist scientific software services would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure whose specific method is recorded as unknown. One lot was completed. MHRA awarded the contract to Biopharm Services Ltd on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. Its value is £11,610 excluding VAT, or £13,932 including VAT. The contract is active and relates to the provision of BioSolve process simulation software. The award covers the full requirement associated with the single lot. The published outcome therefore identifies the selected supplier, the agreed price and the period of delivery, rather than an ongoing tender opportunity.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of process simulation software serving government laboratory and scientific organisations. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to provide BioSolve or an equivalent process simulation capability, understand laboratory-service applications and support delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement also indicates that MHRA purchases specialist software as a defined service, rather than only general IT products. Suppliers should therefore be able to present a focused scientific software proposition, demonstrate dependable implementation and support, and operate through a straightforward below-threshold purchasing route. Larger specialist providers may be well placed, as the awarded supplier is recorded as a large business. The requirement points to a customer need that can inform future positioning with MHRA.
