Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured the supply of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) analysers, classified under CPV 38434000. This is a goods requirement for equipment used to perform near infrared spectroscopy analysis. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and destinations in the rest of the world. The buying organisation is the Home Office, based in London. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of NIRS analysers and associated analytical equipment, particularly those able to supply public-sector customers across UK and international delivery locations. The procurement concerns the supply of equipment rather than installation, consultancy or laboratory services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 21 August 2026. Scenesafe Limited was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £211,994.40. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £211,994.40. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was a single goods requirement covering the listed delivery locations, rather than a procurement divided into separately described lots. The recorded tender status is complete and the award status is active.

This award demonstrates established Home Office demand for specialist near infrared spectroscopy analysers at a substantial equipment-supply scale. Suppliers with a credible NIRS product range, technical knowledge of analytical instruments and the operational capacity to fulfil a public-sector equipment order would be well placed when the requirement is next considered. The procurement route also shows that the buyer uses framework call-offs, so businesses seeking comparable work should understand relevant framework routes and their access requirements. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist manufacturers, distributors and analytical-equipment businesses can be credible participants, provided they can offer dependable supply, meet the buyer’s technical needs and support delivery across the required UK and international locations.
