## Summary

The University of Exeter, a sub-central public authority, has completed a direct procurement process for the "Biostat® B Twin Univessel (1 litre)" bioreactor setup. The procurement was delivered under the below-threshold category without competition, culminating in the contract award dated 2nd March 2026, with a value of £73,154.47. The procurement falls under the "goods" category, specifically targeting laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with delivery scheduled to locations within the United Kingdom. The award phase is completed, and the contract is active, scheduled to conclude on 31st May 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of bioreactor systems and associated software. While the contract has been awarded to Sartorius Stedim UK Limited, a large enterprise, future opportunities may arise for similar supply agreements. Businesses specialising in laboratory equipment with the capacity to offer innovative bioreactor solutions, especially those with experience in direct supplier arrangements, would be well-suited to engage in comparable tenders from the University of Exeter and similar educational institutions.
