The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has awarded a contract for the procurement of primary human cells, specifically HLA typed human small airway epithelial cells, lung microvascular endothelial cells, and human immune cells, to be utilised in an Organ on a Chip (OOC) system at Porton Down. The tender falls under the industry category of primary cells (CPV code 31410000) and is valued at £226,706.60. The contract was awarded to Lonza Sales Ltd on 4th July 2024, with the contract period spanning from 4th July 2024 to 3rd July 2027. The procurement process is complete, and the contract fulfilment will be carried out at the UKHSA site in England, United Kingdom, with the postal code E14 4PU.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of human cellular materials and related biotechnologies.
