Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency procured a Microbiological Safety Cabinet Class III, for delivery in London. The requirement is described as “MSCIIIs CL3 capacity 114268/30” and is classified under laboratory services. Class III cabinets are fully enclosed, glove-operated containment equipment used to protect laboratory workers, samples and the surrounding environment when handling hazardous biological materials. The buying organisation is UK Health Security Agency, based at 10 South Colonnade, London. The procurement concerns a specific item rather than a broader laboratory service, so relevant businesses are likely to be manufacturers, authorised distributors, installers or specialist suppliers of Class III microbiological safety cabinets and associated laboratory containment equipment. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to WOLF LABORATORIES LIMITED on 16 July 2026 for £159,912, including the currency stated in the procurement data. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the Class III microbiological safety cabinet requirement for UK Health Security Agency. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The available procurement data records the framework call-off route and the awarded requirement; it does not set out a separate quality, price or technical weighting for evaluation.

This award indicates demand from UK Health Security Agency for specialist high-containment laboratory equipment supplied through a framework call-off. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this type would have a proven ability to manufacture, distribute or install Class III microbiological safety cabinets, with practical knowledge of microbiological containment and laboratory safety requirements. Credibility would depend on supplying equipment that meets the required containment, capacity and operational specifications, supported by dependable technical documentation, delivery planning, installation and after-sales service. Framework access or an established route into relevant public-sector purchasing arrangements would also matter, since this purchase was made as a framework call-off. The procurement was suitable for an SME supplier, showing that specialist smaller businesses can compete for this buyer’s requirements.
