Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency is procuring a Glomax plate reader for laboratory and medical equipment use. The requirement is for the supply of a plate-reading instrument rather than a broader construction or engineering project, despite the procurement being categorised as works. The equipment is to be delivered in London, at the UKHSA’s South Colonnade site in the E14 4PU area. The relevant classification is CPV 33100000, covering medical equipment. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist laboratory-equipment suppliers able to provide Glomax plate readers and associated supply support to a UK public health organisation.

The procurement has reached the awarded and completed tender stage. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to PROMEGA UK LIMITED on 22 July 2026 for £36,665.64 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 30 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. PROMEGA UK LIMITED is the sole recorded supplier and the award is active. The process concerned one plate reader requirement, with the awarded value matching the overall procurement value.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of UKHSA demand for specialist laboratory plate-reading equipment at a defined public-sector scale. A credible future competitor would need a dependable supply of Glomax plate readers, the ability to fulfil orders for a public health laboratory environment, and access to the relevant framework route used for this purchase. Specialist manufacturers, authorised UK distributors and laboratory-equipment SMEs are the closest comparators, particularly businesses able to support product identification, ordering, delivery and customer requirements for medical and scientific equipment. Understanding UKHSA’s use of framework call-offs and its preference for SME-suitable opportunities would help suppliers prepare for comparable requirements from this buyer.
