## Summary

Public Services Delivery Scotland, through SNBTS, procured equipment, consumables and testing services supporting the manufacture of a cell product under the TCAT Cell Therapy Project. The requirement sits within health-related scientific and laboratory services, with CPV classification 73100000. It supports an existing manufacturing contract rather than a standalone supply of general medical goods. Delivery is for work in Scotland. The procurement covered one requirement, combining the equipment, consumables and testing needed for the cell-product manufacturing activity. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include specialist life-science suppliers, laboratory testing providers, cell-therapy support organisations and companies able to supply or integrate equipment and consumables for regulated manufacturing environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Public Services Delivery Scotland used a limited procedure without a prior published competition, making a direct award under Regulation 33(1)(b) on the basis that competition was absent for technical reasons. The single requirement was evaluated equally on quality and price, weighted at 50% each. SGS Vitrology Limited and Miltenyi Biotec Ltd were selected as suppliers. The contract is active, was signed on 8 June 2026, and is valued at £381,061. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and was treated as outside the scope of the applicable directive. No contract duration or award date is stated.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the requirement indicates demand from a Scottish public-sector health buyer for specialist support to cell-product manufacturing. A credible future competitor would need to provide the relevant equipment, consumables and testing as a coordinated service, with evidence that its technical offer can work within an established cell-therapy production process. The evaluation shows that both technical quality and price matter equally, so suppliers would need a demonstrably reliable solution alongside competitive commercial terms. Relevant experience in laboratory testing, virology, cell therapy, scientific equipment supply or consumables for controlled manufacturing environments would strengthen a competing proposition. Both an SME specialist and a larger life-science supplier were selected.
