Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee sought a term supply contract for affinity resins for MRC-PPU, used in laboratory and biochemical production work. The requirement covered the supply of resin products rather than installation, construction or a wider laboratory service. The procurement was classified as goods and relates to resins. Delivery was to take place in Dundee. The University of Dundee acted as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement was structured as one lot, covering the supply of affinity resins under a term arrangement, with ordering and fulfilment managed for the University’s stated operational need.

The procurement was run as an open procedure, but the tender was cancelled and the award outcome was recorded as unsuccessful and discontinued; no supplier was appointed. The estimated value was £250,000. The tender submission deadline and bid opening were 15 October 2026 at 12:00, with bids required to remain valid until 11 December 2026. The planned contract period was 720 days, with options to extend for years three and four subject to ongoing need and satisfactory performance. Evaluation allocated 60% to price and 40% to quality, covering account management, service levels, similar-contract experience, sustainability, added value and sample testing. English-language electronic submissions were required, and variants were not allowed.

For suppliers of affinity resins, this procurement indicates a defined requirement from the University of Dundee for recurring laboratory consumables delivered in Dundee. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to suitable affinity resin products, the ability to support sample testing, and a dependable supply and account-management operation. Evidence of servicing similar contracts would be important, alongside clear service levels, responsive communication and practical added value. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate sustainable practices and compete on price, since price formed the largest part of the evaluation. The requirement therefore suits established specialist distributors, manufacturers or laboratory-supply businesses with relevant contract experience and dependable fulfilment capacity.
