Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency bought two replacement Qiagen QIAgility liquid handlers for laboratory use. This is an equipment purchase, rather than a service or works contract. The listed delivery location is London, with the postcode E14 4PU. The requirement is specifically for two liquid-handling instruments, so suppliers of laboratory automation equipment are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to QIAGEN LIMITED on 25 September 2026. The award value is £71,108.32, and the contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 30 January 2027. The agency used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was also £71,108.32. The procurement was classed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the successful supplier was QIAGEN LIMITED. No separate lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

The award demonstrates demand from the UK Health Security Agency for replacement liquid-handling equipment in a laboratory setting, at a modest, single-purchase scale. QIAGEN LIMITED was selected through a framework call-off, so a credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply suitable liquid handlers and be able to compete through an applicable framework route. The requirement was for two QIAgility instruments, making product fit and the ability to provide replacement laboratory equipment central to the opportunity. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers could be relevant where they can meet the equipment requirement and access the relevant framework. No specific accreditation, service, installation or technical performance requirements are set out here.
