Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency has successfully awarded a contract titled "Purchase of Extraction Platforms" in the industry category of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) equipment. This tender, identified as CF-3326300D0O000000rwimUAA, was issued from their office located at 10 South Colonnade, London, E14 4PU, UK. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period end date on 10th December 2025 and the contract period from 11th December 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total value of the contract is GBP 46,046, and the awarded supplier is Cepheid UK Limited, an SME located at Blythe Valley Business Park, Solihull.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in goods supply within the health sector, particularly those familiar with supplying PCR equipment. As the contract was part of a framework agreement, businesses familiar with these arrangements and capable of fulfilling niche technical supply needs would have been well-positioned to compete. The fact that the tender indicated a preference for SMEs suggests that smaller enterprises had a viable opportunity for engagement and growth through participation in public sector tenders such as this one.
