Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process led by Cardiff University focused on acquiring radiopharmaceutical products. As a large educational institution, Cardiff University assumed the role of both buyer and central purchasing body. The tender, categorized under the 'Education' and 'Body governed by public law' classifications, relates to goods in the UKL region. The procurement stage was in the award phase with the contract signed on 25th July 2025. Notably, this limited procurement method was justified by the technical necessity, having only a sole supplier capable of meeting the NHS framework requirements without a prior call for competition.

This contract provides business growth opportunities primarily for large enterprises capable of supplying specialised pharmaceutical products. Specifically, businesses within the medical and pharmaceutical industries, particularly those involved in radiopharmaceuticals, would find opportunities in similar tenders. The nature of this contract, with an active status and a substantial value of £913,200, demonstrates the potential financial gains for companies that fit the stringent technical and supply chain requirements. Companies that are well-established in technical and specialised supply may position themselves to be competitive bidders in future opportunities of this nature.
