OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh, a prominent central purchasing body in the education sector, recently completed a tender process for the contract titled "NCA30963 GMP Mangafodipir." This procurement falls under the goods category and pertains to the formulation and Good Manufacturing Practice preparation of mangafodipir for clinical use. The contract award was signed on 29th July 2021 and involved a limited procurement method due to the unique technical requirements of the product. The delivery is to be made to the Centre for Cardiovascular Research at the University of Edinburgh located in Edinburgh, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses experienced in complex pharmaceutical manufacturing and Good Manufacturing Practices, particularly those that can navigate the challenges of sterile fill products. Companies like Avomeen, who possess the necessary technical expertise and experience in handling such unique formulations, are well-positioned to participate in similar tenders. The procurement's emphasis on quality and technical capability makes it imperative for suppliers to demonstrate their proficiency in managing complex production processes, especially within the context of ongoing clinical trials and limited supply chains driven by high global demand.

Notice Information

Notice Title

NCA30963 GMP Mangafodipir

Notice Description

Formulation and Good Manufacturing Practice preparation of mangafodipir for clinical use in healthy volunteers and patients.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Under Regulation Reg 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may use the negotiated procedure without the prior publication in the case of a public contract, based on the following justification: 2. Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists);

Options: If the initially feasibility study is successful, the production and stability testing of mangafodipir is included in the procurement at the cost of 244,105 USD excluding VAT.

Procurement Information

For the last 2 years, we have been trying to source further preparations of the mangafodipir. This has included a global search for suppliers which has been unsuccessful. We are working with a Norwegian company to provide the product but has proved unsuccessful although future supplies may be possible in 1-2 years' time. However, we have ongoing clinical trials and need a supply as soon as possible. We have now engaged with Avomeen (Element) who have previous experience with working with the product: this is quite unique with no other supplier having this experience. The product is rather complex to manufacture and formulate and given that they are the only current provider to generate the product and have the expertise, we have gone back to them. They seem to be the only company able to deal with the complexity of manufacture. The other issue is availability. The world's supply and capacity for sterile fill products is severely stretched due to the massive global demand for SARS-CoV2 vaccines. We have worked with Element to try alternative sterile fill premises but there is no capacity in other facilities for the immediate future.
