Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee sought a term contract for the supply of affinity resins to the Medical Research Council Protein Production Unit (MRC-PPU). This was a goods procurement for laboratory materials used in research and protein production. Delivery was in Dundee. The requirement covered the ongoing supply of affinity resins under a single term contract, with the buyer using electronic ordering and making electronic payment. The procurement was managed by the University of Dundee, an education-sector public body. Suppliers specialising in laboratory consumables, chromatography products, affinity purification materials and associated technical support would have been relevant to the requirement. The contract was subject to the buyer’s stated performance terms and conditions for the supply of goods.

The procurement was run as an open procedure and has been discontinued: the tender and its single lot were cancelled, and the award outcome was unsuccessful. The estimated value was £250,000. The tender deadline and bid opening were both 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 included price, weighted at 60, and account management and communication, weighted at 3; variants were not permitted. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No supplier was awarded the contract and no award value was recorded.

Although this procurement was discontinued, it indicates a requirement for dependable laboratory affinity resins within the University of Dundee’s research environment. Suppliers would need a credible range of affinity purification products, reliable fulfilment and the capacity to support a continuing term supply arrangement. Relevant strengths would include experience supplying universities, research institutes or protein-production laboratories; knowledge of chromatography and affinity-resin applications; and the ability to maintain consistent product quality, availability and technical support. Account management and communication were explicit evaluation considerations, so suppliers would need clear points of contact, responsive handling of orders and issues, and evidence of effective service management. Electronic ordering, electronic payment and compliance with public-sector supply terms would also be important operational capabilities.
