## Summary

The University of Birmingham purchased a CyToF order from Standard Biotools UK Limited. CyToF is identified as the requirement title, while the procurement is classified as the purchase of goods and the associated item is classified under tools. The order was for delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the University of Birmingham, based in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The requirement therefore concerns the supply of specialist tools associated with the University’s CyToF activity, rather than a construction, consultancy or general service contract. Businesses supplying laboratory or scientific tools, particularly those able to provide the specific equipment or products required for CyToF-related use, are the closest commercial comparators for this purchase. The procurement was handled through the University’s SSA process.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. The University of Birmingham used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Standard Biotools UK Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 11 August 2024 and ran from 12 August 2024 to 31 July 2025. Its value was £59,417.80 including tax, and it was below the relevant threshold. The award covered one lot and the award status is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open bidding exercise, so the procurement does not show a competitive tender or published scoring basis. The recorded procurement category is goods, with the item classified as tools.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of specialist laboratory and scientific tools. It shows that the University of Birmingham buys CyToF-related goods through a direct, below-threshold route and uses its SSA process for the requirement. A credible competitor for similar work would need a product range that matches CyToF-related equipment or tools, the technical knowledge to identify and supply the required items, and the operational capacity to fulfil a university order in the United Kingdom. Standard Biotools UK Limited is recorded as an SME supplier, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist small or medium-sized business rather than only by a large general supplier. Relevant firms should monitor this buyer’s laboratory purchasing activity and understand the SSA route.
