## Summary

Quadram Institute Bioscience is buying made-to-order laboratory media that meets ISO-certified requirements. This is a goods requirement for laboratory, optical and precision equipment, excluding glasses, with the media produced to fit the institute’s specified standards and needs. The buying organisation is Quadram Institute Bioscience, a public authority based in Norwich. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is relevant to laboratory suppliers that can formulate and manufacture bespoke media, interpret technical specifications accurately, and supply products consistently across multiple English locations. It may also suit specialist laboratory consumables manufacturers and distributors with the production or sourcing capability to meet certified requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. There was one lot. Southern Group Laboratory Limited was selected as supplier, with the award active. The award was made on 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 16 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £47,869.06 excluding VAT and £57,442.88 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through a direct, non-competitive route rather than an open tender. The published outcome records one supplier for the complete requirement. The arrangement therefore provides a clear example of Quadram Institute Bioscience procuring ISO-compliant, made-to-order laboratory media below the relevant threshold.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need specialist capability in made-to-order laboratory media and a reliable understanding of ISO-certified laboratory requirements. They would need to translate bespoke specifications into repeatable products, maintain consistent quality between batches, and provide evidence that their manufacturing or supply processes meet the required standards. The awarded supplier is an SME laboratory company, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national organisation. Suppliers should also be able to support delivery across England, manage communications with a research-focused public authority, and demonstrate dependable fulfilment for laboratory users whose work depends on accurate, consistent media.
