Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency procured a Sartorius flow cytometer and associated laboratory equipment to support its laboratory functions. The requirement is for specialist scientific instrumentation, specifically equipment used for cytometry. Delivery is to the Agency’s site in Canary Wharf, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Fisher Scientific U.K., Limited. The award date was 7 October 2026 and the awarded value is £324,232.43. The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. The purchase was made through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 6 October 2026. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award shows demand from the UK Health Security Agency for Sartorius laboratory equipment, including a flow cytometer, to support laboratory work at its Canary Wharf site. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply the specified specialist instrumentation and operate through an appropriate framework call-off route. The awarded supplier is a large business, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
