Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency has completed its procurement process for the supply of laboratory consumables and chemicals from Starlab, which falls under the diagnostic supplies category. The contract, valued at £576,000, was awarded through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. This procurement, identified by ID CF-3530200D0O000000rwimUAA, is classified under the CPV code 33124130. The contract period starts on 29th April 2026 and ends on 29th April 2027. The buying organisation, UKHSA, is based in London, United Kingdom, at postcode E14 4PU. The award was published on 18th May 2026, marking the culmination of the tender process.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity primarily for businesses involved in the production or supply of laboratory diagnostic supplies, as demonstrated by the successful bid from Starlab (UK), LTD., which is noted to operate on an SME scale. However, due to the selective nature of the procurement and its execution as a call-off from a framework, it may be most accessible to firms already part of established frameworks. The opportunity aligns well with companies seeking to expand their reach into the public health sector, especially those able to meet the demanding standards of supplies crucial for health security operations. Such engagements can foster significant business growth through strategic partnerships and consistent demand from public health authorities.
