Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), located in London, has completed a procurement process for the supply of Immunology Multiplex Assay Kits. The tender, classified under the Laboratory Services (CPV code 71900000) industry category, was managed via direct procurement, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. This covered a contract period from 18 July 2024 to 17 July 2026. Delivery locations for the kits include the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. The procurement process concluded in the award stage on 16 July 2024, with Merck Life Science UK Limited being selected as the supplier. The total contract value is £74,514.30.

This tender presents numerous opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of specialised laboratory services, particularly those capable of supplying complex assay kits. Companies with a strong background in immunology and life sciences will find this contract valuable, given the extended two-year period that ensures a continuous demand. While the specific procurement was not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs in this instance, firms looking to establish a long-term relationship with APHA and enhance their portfolio in the laboratory services domain should consider such future tenders. The scope for international deliveries also broadens the reach for businesses ready to engage in supply chain logistics on a global scale.
