Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency bought a Luminex xMAP INTELLIFLEX DR-SE analyser, a laboratory instrument for analysing samples. The procurement is for the equipment itself; no associated installation, servicing or other work is described. The buyer is the Animal and Plant Health Agency. Delivery locations are listed broadly as the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, rather than naming a specific laboratory or site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Fisher Scientific UK Ltd. The award was made on 18 September 2026, for £120,655.67. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 October 2028. The purchase was made through a call-off from a framework agreement, using a selective procedure. The original tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is a single equipment purchase, not divided into lots. The Animal and Plant Health Agency’s suitability information says the procurement was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details.

This award shows demand from the Animal and Plant Health Agency for a specialist Luminex xMAP INTELLIFLEX DR-SE laboratory analyser, purchased through a framework call-off. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to be able to supply this specific analyser, or demonstrate that their offering meets the same equipment requirement, and to fulfil a substantial specialist-equipment purchase. The stated unsuitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the buyer did not position this purchase for those supplier groups. The award to Fisher Scientific UK Ltd shows that a supplier able to provide the named instrument was selected; the procurement details do not identify further technical capabilities, service obligations or accreditation requirements.
