## Summary

The University of Exeter procured six bioreactor systems and associated consumables for laboratory use. This is a goods requirement covering laboratory, optical and precision equipment, excluding glasses. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the University of Exeter, a public authority based in Exeter. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of bioreactor systems, laboratory equipment and related consumables, particularly businesses able to supply a complete set of six systems together with the consumable products needed to operate them. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate publicly described lots, and concerns equipment supplied to support the university’s laboratory activities.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Ogibiotec Ltd. The University of Exeter used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made on 22 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 22 June 2026. The active contract runs from 23 June 2026 to 22 June 2029. Its value is £74,830 including gross value, in GBP. The award covers the single requirement for six bioreactor systems and associated consumables. The published outcome identifies Ogibiotec Ltd as the selected supplier. The procurement was recorded as complete, and the contract is active for the stated three-year period.

This procurement shows established demand from the University of Exeter for complete bioreactor systems supported by associated consumables, rather than equipment supplied in isolation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide laboratory-grade bioreactor equipment, understand the consumables required for continued operation, and deliver a coordinated package suitable for university laboratory use. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist smaller businesses can satisfy this type of requirement. Relevant businesses include bioreactor manufacturers, laboratory equipment distributors, specialist life-science suppliers and firms with dependable consumables supply arrangements. Experience supplying research or higher-education laboratories, technical knowledge of bioreactor operation, and the capacity to support equipment over its working life would strengthen a future offer.
