Coverage: 125 active published awards; 77 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleThe absence of competition ground under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) is relevant as, based upon UKHSA’s requirements and market intelligence, there appears to be a monopoly market that applies in the current case. Operational colleagues have confirmed that there is a very limited market for the supply of cells from recently deceased, healthy humans appropriate for UKHSA’s income generation and infectious disease research purposes.
