Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency has initiated a procurement process titled "Project Amplify - Data Cabinet," aiming to design, build, and hand over a physically complete PCR laboratory facility in London (postal code E14 4PU). This project falls under the industry category of data-communications equipment, adhering to CPV Code 32581000. The procurement method is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender status is complete. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, having been awarded to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD as of 14 August 2025. The contract period extends from 15 August 2025 to 14 August 2028, with the tender's value reaching approximately GBP 17,697.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses within the fields of construction and data-communications equipment, specifically favouring smaller enterprises as noted in its suitability criteria. Companies that specialise in laboratory construction or equipment supply, particularly those capable of supporting large-scale operational demands, will find this tender appealing. Contributing to the UK's health infrastructure as part of the UKHSA Surge Umbrella Programme, successful firms would gain prestige and experience through participation in high-impact public health initiatives. Large firms like INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD, which have been awarded the contract, set a benchmark for the scale and capability required. However, the structured procurement method also ensures that smaller, specialised businesses are considered within competitive selection rounds.
