Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency bought two laboratory incubators: a 730-litre P33 LEEC Precision Incubator and a Labcold Incubator. This is a supply contract for laboratory equipment (CPV 38000000), rather than laboratory services or construction work. The equipment is for APHA. Delivery locations are listed across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, so the stated scope is not confined to a single town or site. The requirement is specifically for these incubator models; it does not describe a wider laboratory equipment package or associated installation, maintenance or servicing.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Wolf Laboratories Limited. APHA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 30 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £28,606.50. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The stated tender submission deadline was 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was categorised as goods and was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. There is one award covering the two incubators. No evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement data, so the award basis beyond the framework call-off route cannot be described.

This award shows APHA’s demand for specialist laboratory incubators, specifically a large-capacity precision model alongside a Labcold unit, and that it procured them through a framework call-off. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to source and supply both specified types of equipment and be able to meet APHA’s delivery arrangements across the locations stated for this procurement. The award establishes that the purchase was handled as a focused equipment supply rather than a broader laboratory fit-out. SMEs were considered suitable, indicating that the requirement was not restricted to large businesses. For a future comparable APHA purchase, relevant credibility would rest on access to the required incubator models, reliable supply capability and the ability to serve the stated delivery footprint.
