Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency bought proprietary diagnostic consumables under the Altona Kits & Consumables requirement. The goods are diagnostic supplies for health security activities, with delivery to Canary Wharf, London, and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns branded or otherwise proprietary kits and associated consumable products rather than general clinical equipment, installation or construction work. It is classified under CPV 33124130 for diagnostic supplies. The buyer is UK Health Security Agency, based at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London. The awarded supplier, Altona Diagnostics UK Limited, is based in Liverpool and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is for goods supplied to support the agency’s diagnostic operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12 noon, and the award was made on 5 August 2026. Altona Diagnostics UK Limited was awarded the contract for GBP 960,000. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 7 August 2027. The procurement was not divided into separately reported lots. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route, with the contract covering the supply of the specified proprietary diagnostic consumables. UK Health Security Agency is the buyer and Altona Diagnostics UK Limited is the active awarded supplier. The procurement is recorded as a goods contract.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Health Security Agency for proprietary diagnostic kits and consumables supplied through a public-sector framework call-off. Suppliers competing for comparable future requirements would need reliable access to the relevant proprietary products, strong manufacturer or distribution rights, and the operational capacity to fulfil recurring diagnostic-supply orders across the United Kingdom. Credible providers would also need experience of public-sector supply arrangements, framework call-offs, compliant ordering and documentation, and dependable stock management. Because the requirement is for specialised diagnostic supplies rather than generic consumables, technical product knowledge, continuity of supply and the ability to support the buyer’s diagnostic operations would be important. The incumbent’s SME status also indicates that a specialist supplier can serve this type of requirement at significant scale.
