Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency procured a STIL GloMax microplate reader, laboratory equipment used to read microplates. The requirement is for the reader itself; no further equipment, installation or service scope is described. The buying organisation is the UK Health Security Agency, and delivery is to its location at 10 South Colonnade, London. This is a supply requirement rather than a works or service contract. The equipment falls within laboratory, optical and precision equipment (CPV 38000000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to PROMEGA UK LIMITED. The award was made on 22 September 2026 for £16,392. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was placed as a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procedure. The estimated tender value was also £16,392. The tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. No lots are identified, and the award covers the microplate reader requirement as a whole. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; no further award criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates UK Health Security Agency demand for microplate-reading equipment, specifically a STIL GloMax reader. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to supply this type of laboratory instrument and be able to fulfil a framework call-off for the Agency. The selected supplier was PROMEGA UK LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a specialist SME supplied this requirement. The purchase is a discrete equipment supply rather than a broader laboratory services or construction contract, so relevant credibility rests on having the required reader available and meeting the buyer’s equipment specification and framework terms. The process does not establish a requirement for installation, maintenance, technical support or other equipment, so these should not be assumed to be part of the buyer’s need.」} in final? ensure JSON no strange chars.
