Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "C348846 - ONT Consumables 2025-27" involves the UK Health Security Agency as the buying organisation, with a focus on laboratory reagents within the health sector. Located in London, UK, this procurement follows the award stage. The contract, awarded to Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited, will run from 22 May 2025 to 31 March 2027. Utilising a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, the tender's financial scope is valued at £2,000,000. The tender period concluded on 8 May 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory reagents and related consumables, specifically those that are capable of entering into framework agreements. While large enterprises like Oxford Nanopore Technologies Limited were ultimately awarded the contract, the procurement process demonstrated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies within the health and laboratory supply industries may find significant growth potential by engaging with similar opportunities, particularly given the assured contract periods and substantial financial value. The approach of calling off from framework agreements can further ease access for pre-qualified suppliers.
