This contract, aimed at assessing the economic impact of biological reference materials, falls under the services industry category with a specific focus on economic impact assessment. The procurement method was direct and below threshold, conducted without competition, culminating in an award to OHE Consulting Ltd. The contract commenced on 15th May 2026 and is scheduled to conclude by 21st August 2026, with MHRA's address in London.
