UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham procured a ZX1010 dispensing platform under its SSA process. The requirement falls within goods supply and includes equipment classified as air compressors. Delivery was for the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at its Edgbaston campus in Birmingham. This is a specialist equipment purchase rather than a construction, consultancy or general maintenance service. Businesses relevant to this requirement are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist equipment suppliers able to provide ZX1010 dispensing platforms or closely matching air-compressor equipment. The procurement was for the university’s operational needs, so suppliers serving higher education, research or laboratory environments may find the buyer and requirement commercially relevant when assessing comparable demand.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to BioDot Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, through a single completed lot. The contract was signed on 19 July 2025, with a contract period from 20 July 2025 to 31 July 2025. Its value was £59,600 gross, including the recorded amount, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier was BioDot Limited. The available record identifies the procurement route and outcome, but does not set out an evaluated competitive basis. This was a short-duration purchase of the dispensing platform and associated classified equipment for the University of Birmingham.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a ZX1010 dispensing platform and associated air-compressor equipment at the University of Birmingham, with a value at the scale of a specialist equipment purchase. A credible competitor for comparable demand would need to supply the specified platform or an accepted equivalent, understand its technical requirements, and provide equipment suitable for the university’s intended use. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of purchase can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist laboratory or dispensing-equipment businesses should monitor this buyer’s future requirements and be prepared to explain product compatibility, supply capability and UK delivery arrangements.
