Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by the UK Health Security Agency involves the supply of laboratory consumables and chemicals, classified under diagnostic supplies, to all UKHSA laboratories across the United Kingdom. This contract, awarded to Alpha Laboratories Limited, an SME located in Eastleigh, Hampshire, closed the tendering phase on 24 March 2026, with the award being issued on 31 March 2026. It will span from 31 March 2026 until 31 March 2027. The procurement method was selective, executed via a call-off from a framework agreement, and the process is considered complete as of 22 April 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the production and distribution of laboratory consumables and chemicals, particularly those that can deliver diagnostic supplies that meet UKHSA standards. Although the contract was previously awarded to an SME, the procurement process demonstrates the potential for similar sized enterprises to compete if they possess relevant expertise and supply capabilities. Enterprises with established frameworks within the UK's scientific and healthcare sectors are strategically positioned to benefit from similar future tenders by the UK Health Security Agency.
