Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has concluded the procurement process for the provision of a Panther Link for their Bristol operations. This process, classified under the CPV code 38000000 for laboratory, optical and precision equipment, was conducted through a selective procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement. Managed by UKHSA Commercial Operations based in London, the tender reached the award stage with a completion status. The contract, valued at £44,586.90, covers a period from 27th October 2025 to 31st March 2026 and involves the delivery of goods to London, United Kingdom.

This procurement presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in laboratory and optical equipment. Since the process favoured small and medium enterprises (SMEs), smaller companies with expertise in precision instrumentation could find this an appealing venture. The selective nature of the tender underscores the importance of having a framework agreement in place, highlighting opportunities for businesses to align with similar frameworks for future participation. Hologic LTD., a large-scale supplier, was awarded the contract, indicating a robust competition where experienced suppliers with a reputable standing can thrive.
