## Summary

Cardiff University has completed the procurement process for the purchase of consumables for the Sequel II, under the tender ID CU.1946.AR. This involved a direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition, indicating a streamlined acquisition. The process was carried out under the legal framework of the UKPGA, specifically regulation 2023/54. This procurement activity, classified under the "goods" category of the medical industry, focused on medical consumables and specified delivery within the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £51,210.24, covered the period from 8th May to 8th June 2025, and was awarded to Pacific Biosciences, a large-scale supplier based in California, USA.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of medical consumables, particularly those that can establish themselves as reputable suppliers to educational institutions like Cardiff University. Companies that are flexible with regional delivery and can navigate the specifics of UK procurement regulations, especially those pertaining to smaller, direct contracts, would potentially benefit from similar future opportunities. The procurement method, direct and below threshold, suggests a need for suppliers who can respond swiftly and efficiently to specific requirements without engaging in competitive bidding.
