This contract, valued at £4,000,000, is in the research services industry category and will be based at the Biological Chemistry & Drug Discovery (BCDD) centre in Dundee (UKM71). Initially running for four years from the signing date of 22nd July 2024, this procurement process has now reached the contract update and award stage, with multiple service providers engaged to deliver the required services. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in medicinal and synthetic chemistry, providing a wide range of services such as FTE-based chemistry support, bespoke piece synthesis, scale-up, and chiral separation. Companies like BioAscent Discovery Ltd, Chemveda Life Sciences India Pvt. Ltd., and Cambridge Bioscience are well-suited to benefit from this framework due to the need for high-quality, scalable chemical synthesis services. The established framework ensures a structured yet flexible opportunity for companies to engage in meaningful research collaboration and demonstrate their capabilities to a major university, fostering growth and innovation in the chemistry sector. ## Notice Second-Generation Framework for the provision of Chemistry Synthesis and other Chemistry Services Outsourcing with initial term of two (2) years with the option to extend for up to 2 x 12 months, if required, at the sole discretion of the University and subject to ongoing satisfactory performance by the appointed Service Providers. The Services will include: 1. FTE rate for provision of chemistry support for medicinal chemistry programme(s), typically making 50mg samples of compounds for initial biological evaluation. For actives, re-synthesis on a larger scale may be required (typically 0.5g to 5g scale). The ability to carry out array chemistry is important; 2.Bespoke piece(s) of chemistry e.g. synthesis of a defined list of compounds, typically at 95% purity and for scale up> 98% purity with no impurity >0.5%; 6. Experimental write-ups, when requested, including compound characterization by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and LCMS or UPLC/MS for publications, in-vivo release, tech-transfer to DDU or other CRO for patent purposes. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Chemistry Synthesis and other Chemistry Services Outsourcing Renewal: Option to extend Framework for maximum 2 x further years, subject to ongoing need and satisfactory performance by the appointed service providers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038621-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 26 Apr 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Jul 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,000,000 | | Lots value | £4,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £4,400,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE | | Locality | DUNDEE | | Post town | Dundee | | Postcode | DD1 4HN | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM03 Angus and Dundee City | | Local authority | Dundee City | | Electoral ward | West End | | Westminster constituency | Dundee Central | | Delivery location | TLM71 Angus and Dundee City | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 11 | | Supplier names | "ENAMINE; 3XPER INNOVENTURE; BIOASCENT DISCOVERY; CAMBRIDGE BIOSCIENCE; CHEMPARTNER EUROPE; CHEMVEDA LIFE SCIENCES INDIA; JUBILANT BIOSYS; SAI LIFE SCIENCES; SYNGENE INTERNATIONAL; TCG LIFESCIENCES; WUXI APPTEC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 29 Nov 2024 at 14:36 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038621-2024 - 26 Nov 2024 at 17:00 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038232-2024 - 13 May 2024 at 07:49 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015084-2024 - 7 May 2024 at 13:48 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014528-2024 - 17 Apr 2024 at 07:54 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012436-2024 - 5 Apr 2024 at 13:45 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011134-2024 - 22 Mar 2024 at 11:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009350-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.dundee.ac.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.publicontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000784022 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00105 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
