Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee is procuring affinity resins for its MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitination Unit (MRC-PPU). This is a supply contract for specialist resins used in laboratory research; delivery is to the University of Dundee in Dundee. The requirement is described as a term contract, with one lot covering the supply to MRC-PPU. Suppliers of affinity chromatography resins and related research laboratory consumables are the most directly relevant. The University is the buyer and is also identified as the organisation managing the procurement. The requirement concerns goods rather than installation or construction work, and the published description centres on supplying the resins to the University’s research unit.

The University invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the amendment changed the original deadline and the bid-opening time to this date and time. The estimated contract value is £250,000. The initial contract period is 720 days, with options for extensions in years three and four, subject to ongoing need and acceptable pricing. There is one lot. Evaluation gives 60% weight to price and 3% to account management. Variants are not allowed, bids must be submitted electronically, and the stated bid validity runs to 31 December 2026. The buyer requires the names and qualifications of staff assigned to perform the contract.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to source and consistently supply affinity resins for specialist academic research use. A bidder should be able to demonstrate dependable account management and provide appropriately qualified personnel, whose names and qualifications are required. The single-lot arrangement means the requirement is for supply to one university research unit rather than a multi-site delivery programme. Suppliers with established laboratory consumables distribution, reliable product availability and the capacity to support a term supply relationship are likely to be best placed. The stated evaluation assigns substantial weight to price, alongside account management, so firms able to offer competitive pricing while maintaining responsive customer and order support should consider the fit. Extensions depend on continued need and acceptable pricing.
