## Summary

The University of Dundee is buying affinity resins for supply to MRC-PPU. These specialist resin products are the sole stated requirement, grouped as one lot, for delivery to the University of Dundee in Dundee. The procurement is for goods rather than works or a service contract. Suppliers whose business includes affinity resins and the associated supply arrangements are the closest fit. The requirement is specifically for the University’s MRC-PPU unit; the published scope does not describe other products or delivery locations. The contract is a term supply arrangement, so the opportunity concerns supplying the required products over an ongoing period rather than a single stated delivery.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 noon UK time. The stated contract period is 720 days, with options to extend into years three and four, subject to continuing need and acceptable pricing. The estimated value is £250,000. Bids had to remain valid until 31 December 2026. The single lot prohibits variant bids. Evaluation gives price a 60% weighting; quality accounts for the remaining 40%, assessed through account management (3%), service levels (6%), experience servicing similar contracts (10%), sustainability (5%), added value (5%) and affinity-resin sample testing (11%).

This requirement is best suited to suppliers able to source and supply affinity resins for a university research unit, and to support the supply with reliable account management and service levels. The evaluation places particular emphasis on testing samples of the proposed resins and on experience servicing similar contracts, so suppliers with relevant product-testing capability and a record of comparable supply work are well placed. Sustainability and added value also contribute to the quality assessment, alongside price. The buyer requires bidders to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work, so suppliers should be able to identify an appropriately qualified delivery team. The term arrangement and possible extensions favour suppliers able to maintain consistent supply and acceptable pricing over time.
