Summary of the contracting process

The University Of Edinburgh has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Supply of FDG and other Radiotracers for Oncology Scanning." This procurement falls under the Education industry category and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement stage was an award made on December 16, 2022. The procurement involved the supply of [18F] Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) and other radiotracers for diagnostic purposes. The University used a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender for the supply of radiotracers offers significant business opportunities for companies specialised in providing medical diagnostic supplies. The University Of Edinburgh selected Alliance Medical as the supplier for the contract, highlighting a focus on quality and the ability to deliver within medically prescribed timescales as key award criteria.

Notice Title

Supply of FDG and other Radiotracers for Oncology Scanning.

Notice Description

Supply of [18F] Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) and other radiotracers for diagnostic purposes.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply of radiotracers for oncology scanning of NHS patients and medical research.

Options: Additional supplies may be required beyond the anticipated spend value depending on the throughput of patients.

Procurement Information

FDG is only available commercially from a handful of UK suppliers. FDG-18 has a half-life of 110 minutes; this limits the distance over which it can be transported. There are regulatory restrictions on the length of time after production that the FDG-18 can be administered, and so we are reliant on a twice-daily supply from Alliance Medical's Preston site. No other supplier exists within this radius and so competition is absent for technical reasons.
