## Summary

The procurement process, titled "TCAT - Liver Ductal Project," was managed by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland). This contract, under the industry category of Research and Experimental Development Services, concluded with the award stage on 19th June 2026. The project, located in Edinburgh, UKM region, involved the delivery of a liver ductal ATMP (hBEC) product. The procurement used a limited method and was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract was awarded on 4th June 2026, valued at £117,846, and involved large-scale global suppliers like BioLegend and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Ltd.

This tender holds potential for significant business growth, especially for companies in the field of medical research and biotechnology. The direct award under Regulation 33 highlights opportunities for businesses that can offer specialised technical capabilities where competition is limited. Large enterprises within the biomedical and life sciences industries would be excellently positioned to compete for contracts of this nature, given the complexity and niche nature of the services required. Additionally, SMEs like Bio-Techne Ltd, which was part of the awarded suppliers, demonstrate the possibilities for smaller companies to participate alongside larger firms in such contracts.
