Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, based in London, conducted a selective procurement process to acquire an X-ray pathogen inactivation freezer. This tender, classified under the 'Freezers' category, is part of the buying organisation's strategy to enhance its equipment capabilities. The procurement followed a call-off from a framework agreement, ensuring streamlined acquisition. Though the tender phase concluded on 5th February 2026, with the contract commencing on 6th February 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2026, the award process was completed and made active as of 4th February 2026. PHC EUROPE B.V., operating from Leicestershire, was appointed as the supplier, receiving an award notice published on 24th February 2026.

This contract presents promising avenues for small and medium-sized enterprises, focusing on the supply of specialised equipment such as freezers. Despite the contract being awarded to a large-scale supplier, the framework agreement approach hints at recurring opportunities for suppliers within this niche. Businesses offering innovative solutions and capable of adhering to the procurement framework standards stand a favourable chance to engage similarly structured processes in future dealings with public health organisations like the UK Health Security Agency.
