Summary of the contracting process

UKHSA - London Region has conducted a procurement process for a new bench flow cytometer, specifically the Millipore Guava Easycyte HT, which was required to replace a broken piece of equipment. The procurement falls under the category of cytometers within the goods industry. The procurement method utilised was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded on the 20th of March, 2026, and the contract was awarded to Beckman Coulter United Kingdom Limited on the 25th of March, 2026. The contract period runs from the 26th of March, 2026, through to the 22nd of October, 2026. The delivery is set to the UK, specifically at the postal code SP4 0JQ.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of laboratory equipment, particularly those focusing on cytometers. Large-scale suppliers with established framework agreements have a competitive advantage in such selective procurement processes. The involvement in this tender could foster relationships with government health entities like UKHSA and expand one's presence in the British medical equipment sector.
