Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency purchased two pre-clinical immersion homogenisers. These laboratory instruments homogenise samples and support the Agency’s pre-clinical work. The buyer is UKHSA; delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom, with no more specific location identified. This is a supply requirement for equipment rather than a services or construction contract. The procurement concerns two units, giving suppliers of laboratory homogenisation equipment a clear indication of the product type and quantity bought.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. UKHSA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 September 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 28 September 2026 to VWR International Ltd for £18,986.08. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 December 2029. The tender was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information.

This award shows UKHSA’s demand for a small quantity of pre-clinical laboratory homogenisers, purchased through a framework call-off. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to supply immersion homogenisers suitable for pre-clinical laboratory use and deliver the required equipment in the UK. The selected supplier was a large company, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this suggests that suppliers should assess whether they can meet the buyer’s framework and delivery requirements at the relevant scale. The award provides a direct indication of the product type and buying route used for this requirement.
