Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has concluded the award stage of the procurement process titled "UKHSA & CARPHA partnership to strengthen AMR detection & surveillance," which involves the provision and installation of laboratory OEM equipment and associated reagents. This initiative falls under the industry category of installation services of laboratory equipment (CPV code: 51430000) with additional classification for laboratory reagents (CPV code: 33696500). The procurement was carried out through a selective method, specifically by calling off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 10th March 2025 to 30th September 2025, with the award value amounting to £395,218.89. The delivery location is primarily London, UK, with postal code E14 4PU.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment provision, installation, and associated training services. Companies that offer OEM laboratory equipment and reagents would be well-suited to compete in such procurements, given the need for high-quality, reliable products to support advanced surveillance and detection activities. Although this particular contract was awarded to Cepheid UK Limited, similar opportunities may arise, attracting businesses capable of meeting stringent requirements and contributing to public health enhancement. SMEs and VCSEs were not targeted for this tender, indicating that larger or more established businesses may find similar future procurements more fitting.
