Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has conducted a procurement process titled "RBGKEW1019 Plant Canopy Analyzer" in the goods category, specifically focused on laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The procurement was initiated to acquire a Plant Canopy Analyser, with a contract valued at £25,000. The procurement method was a direct approach, specifically a single tender action, due to its nature as being below the standard threshold. The tender period concluded on 6th December 2021, while the contract period commenced on 16th March 2022 and is set to last until 15th March 2025. The delivery is expected at a designated address in Richmond, England.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for SMEs that specialise in bioscience devices, as the procurement process indicated that only one supplier, LI-COR Biosciences UK Limited, met the specific requirements outlined by the science team. Businesses engaged in the provision of high-quality laboratory equipment, especially those that can demonstrate innovation in plant research technology, will find this tender to be a potential avenue for growth. As the contract period extends for three years, there may also be future opportunities for maintenance, support, or additional supplies related to the Plant Canopy Analyzer.
