Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Cefas, a public authority based in Lowestoft, UK, seeking two laboratory centrifuges for a national COVID-19 wastewater surveillance programme. The tender, titled "GB-Lowestoft: Centrifuges for COVID-19 surveillance," was valued at £20,000 and was conducted in the goods category. The tender period concluded on 1st November 2020, while the contract period began on 12th November 2020 and will last until 31st March 2021. The procurement method was not specified, and the award was published on 23rd December 2020.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that supply laboratory equipment, particularly those that specialise in medical or scientific goods. Suppliers developing similar centrifuge models or offering innovative wastewater management technologies would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts. The specific involvement of a large supplier like Thermo Fisher Scientific indicates the potential for collaboration and bidding partnerships among smaller firms in this niche industry.
