Summary of the contracting process

Public Health England (PHE) has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Spiral Platers" to Don Whitley Scientific Limited, which is classified under the industry category of Dispensers. This procurement process, which was completed on 27 August 2019, involved an open procedure below threshold, with a contract value of £101,000. The contract period commenced on 2 September 2019 and extends until 1 September 2024. Notably, this process aimed at enhancing the Food, Water and Environmental (FW&E) Microbiology Services, specifically for laboratories that handle approximately 2,500 plates per month per instrument. The relevant delivery addresses include locations throughout the United Kingdom and beyond.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the laboratory equipment sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in automation systems or similar goods. Companies that provide innovative solutions for laboratory efficiency, such as automated dispensers and systems designed to minimise repetitive strain in lab settings, would be particularly well-suited to compete for future tenders in this area. With PHE's commitment to improving its microbiology services, there is potential for additional contracts covering further equipment needs or extended warranties, creating avenues for business growth.

Notice Title

Provision of Spiral Platers

Notice Description

Public Health England (PHE) awarded a contract for the spiral platers for its Food, Water and Environmental (FW&E) Microbiology Services to Don Whitley Scientific Limited. The use of a spiral plater system saves resource for the laboratories in terms of staff time and also removes the repetitive strain issues associated with pipetting and spreading such small volumes across agar plates. The initial purchase is for three FW&E Microbiology Services laboratories, which inoculate approximately 2,500 plates per month per instrument. This contract covers further instruments, if required as well as the fully comprehensive extended warranty.
