Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow is buying biomarker assay reagents and related consumables for the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health. The supplies will support measurement of selected biomarkers in stored human serum and plasma samples from a clinical trial. The requirement includes assay reagents, calibrators, quality-control materials, diluents, consumables, technical support and any additional equipment needed for the testing. This is a specialist laboratory supplies opportunity, with delivery and use in Glasgow. The buyer is the University of Glasgow. The requirement is structured as a single procurement covering the complete package needed to carry out the biomarker measurements, rather than a standalone supply of laboratory consumables.

The procurement reached tender: the University of Glasgow invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, with electronic submission required. The tender deadline was amended to 28 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and invitations were scheduled for 28 August 2026. The contract period is 180 days, with an option to extend for a further six months. Evaluation includes technical specifications weighted at 40% and price weighted at 35%. At least three candidates are required for the second stage, with successive reduction; variants are not allowed. Economic selection requires product liability insurance of at least £2 million, public liability insurance of at least £5 million and employer’s liability insurance of at least £5 million. Bidders must provide two years of accounts showing annual turnover of £700,000.

This opportunity suits specialist manufacturers, distributors and laboratory-service suppliers able to provide biomarker assay systems and the associated reagents, calibrators, controls, diluents and consumables as an integrated package. Suppliers should be capable of supporting measurement in stored human serum and plasma from clinical-trial samples, including providing technical assistance and any equipment needed for the work. The requirement is likely to suit businesses with established clinical research, biomedical laboratory or diagnostic supply experience, supported by reliable quality-control and technical support processes. Competitors need sufficient financial scale to demonstrate the required annual turnover and maintain the specified liability insurance cover. Electronic ordering, payment and invoicing arrangements support suppliers accustomed to structured institutional procurement and laboratory supply chains.
