Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory Limited procured laboratory consumables and chemicals for delivery to all of its UK sites, including sites in the North West. The requirement covers laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware and related consumable goods, supporting the laboratory activities of the National Nuclear Laboratory. It is a goods supply opportunity rather than a works or services contract. The buyer is based in Warrington, England. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the Laboratory Consumables & Chemicals (IRLA) Framework, so it was intended for suppliers already able to participate through that framework. The stated requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist laboratory supply businesses as well as larger distributors with national delivery capability.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Scientific Laboratory Supplies Limited. The award was made on 28 February 2026 for £1,300,000. The contract runs from 2 March 2026 to 2 March 2030, covering an initial three-year period with an option to extend by up to one further 12-month period. The original tender submission deadline was 21 November 2025 at 17:00 UTC. This was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The award is active and applies to the full laboratory consumables and chemicals requirement. The published information identifies the successful supplier and awarded value but does not set out separate lots or a detailed scoring breakdown.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates sustained demand from the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory for a broad range of laboratory consumables, chemicals and laboratory glassware across its UK sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable capacity to source and supply these product categories, maintain consistent availability across multiple locations and manage deliveries for a specialist laboratory customer. Framework access is commercially important because this requirement was placed through a framework call-off rather than as a standalone open competition. The opportunity is relevant to specialist laboratory distributors, manufacturers and established SMEs able to support national coverage, reliable ordering and fulfilment, and the product quality and technical understanding expected in a laboratory environment.
