## Summary

The University of Edinburgh awarded a contract for the Supply of FDG and other Radiotracers for Oncology Scanning in a procurement process that involved Alliance Medical as the supplier. The procurement stage was completed on December 15, 2022, with a contract value of £850,000 in GBP. The procurement method was a limited award procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), with Alliance Medical being the only available supplier within the necessary transport radius.

This tender for the supply of radiotracers presents business growth opportunities for companies specialising in radiodiagnostic supplies or medical research activities. Given the stringent regulatory requirements and technical constraints in the supply chain, businesses with expertise in meeting GMP standards and delivering within medically prescribed timescales would be well-positioned to compete. The contract offers potential for growth in the goods procurement category within the medical industry, especially for suppliers capable of providing high-quality radiotracers for oncology scanning and meeting the specific demands of the tender.

## Notice

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.
