## Summary

The University of East Anglia commissioned a dedicated project manager to support scientific services for its ongoing research projects. The work is classified as research laboratory services and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is project management support for scientific research activity, rather than the supply of laboratory equipment or a standalone research study. The buying organisation is the University of East Anglia, based at Norwich Research Park in Norwich. The recorded scope is concise: it identifies a project manager to assist scientific services supporting research projects, without describing particular research disciplines or named projects. This makes the opportunity most relevant to organisations able to provide project-management capacity in a scientific or research-services setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BIOPOLIS. The University of East Anglia used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the process was not divided into separately described lots. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 30 June 2028. Its stated gross value is £123,921. The award is active and the contract is active. No award evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details, so the basis for selecting BIOPOLIS beyond the direct-award route is not stated. This outcome records a selected supplier and an ongoing contract, rather than an invitation for businesses to submit competing offers.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for the University of East Anglia, this award indicates demand for dedicated project-management support attached to ongoing scientific research services. A credible competitor would need to show it can provide a named or otherwise dedicated project-management resource, coordinate work in a research environment, and support scientific services across continuing projects. Experience working with research teams and understanding the operational needs of laboratory-related services would be relevant to demonstrating fit, though no specific discipline, accreditation or technical qualification is identified here. The appointment was made directly without competition, so suppliers should recognise that this instance did not test competing proposals. The awarded scale points to a focused project-management requirement rather than a large, multi-lot research-services programme.
