Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency procured the installation and commissioning of a microbiological safety cabinet (MSC) Class II cabinet. This is laboratory, optical and precision equipment work, classified under CPV 38000000. The requirement is for the cabinet to be installed and brought into operational use at the agency’s site in South Mimms, Hertfordshire. The scope centres on supplying the equipment and completing the associated installation and commissioning activity, rather than a broader laboratory refurbishment or equipment-maintenance programme. Businesses operating in laboratory equipment supply, specialist installation and commissioning, or related scientific facilities services would find the requirement most relevant, particularly those able to support a regulatory or public-sector laboratory environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 10:00. The contract was awarded on 7 July 2026 to WOLF LABORATORIES LIMITED, an SME, for £17,718. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 2 July 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded outcome is an active award to a single supplier. The available process information identifies the requirement, framework call-off route, financial value and contract dates; the award record does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional evaluation weighting.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency for specialist laboratory safety equipment and associated delivery work. A credible future competitor would need to supply MSC Class II cabinets and provide competent installation and commissioning at a regulated laboratory site. Relevant capability includes understanding laboratory equipment requirements, coordinating delivery and site installation, and verifying that the cabinet is operational after commissioning. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist firms with the necessary technical capacity could compete through the relevant framework route. Experience supporting public-sector or scientific laboratory users would strengthen a future response.
