Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee is seeking a supplier for affinity resins for the Medical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitination Unit (MRC-PPU). This is a goods contract for the supply of affinity resins, classified under CPV 19522000, for delivery in Dundee. The requirement is arranged as a term contract rather than a one-off purchase, supporting the unit’s ongoing research and laboratory needs. The buyer is the University of Dundee, with procurement managed from its Dundee campus. Suppliers should be able to provide the specified affinity resin products and meet the ordering, supply and performance requirements set out in the tender documents, including the statement of requirements, quality schedule, pricing schedule and terms and conditions for supply of goods.

The process reached tender: the University of Dundee invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted electronically in English by 15 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time at the University’s Procurement Office in Dundee. The contract covers one lot and has an estimated value of £250,000. Its stated duration is 720 days, with an option to extend for years three and four, subject to ongoing need and satisfactory supplier performance. Bids were to remain valid until 11 December 2026. Evaluation includes price, stated as 60, and quality, including account management and communication, stated as 3. Electronic ordering and electronic payment apply, and variants are not allowed.

This opportunity suits specialist laboratory and life-science suppliers with an established range of affinity resins and the ability to supply them reliably to a university research unit in Dundee. It is particularly relevant to businesses that can support a continuing term-supply arrangement, respond to electronic orders, and maintain consistent product quality and service over the contract period and any extensions. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate effective account management and communication, as these form part of the quality assessment. The requirement may suit manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist laboratory consumables suppliers with dependable sourcing, stock or production capacity, and experience serving research, academic or comparable scientific organisations. The tender documents set the detailed product, quality, pricing and supply requirements.
