Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency procured replacement arms for Tecan equipment at its Porton site in Wiltshire. This is a goods requirement for laboratory, optical and precision equipment, with the work focused on supplying replacement components rather than broader laboratory services. Delivery is to the UKHSA facility at Porton, United Kingdom. The named buyer is the UK Health Security Agency, a national public health organisation. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of Tecan laboratory equipment or compatible replacement arms. It may also suit businesses able to source and supply precision laboratory components for UK public-sector scientific facilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 10 August 2026 to Tecan UK Limited for GBP 191,950.10. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a goods purchase for laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is recorded as Tecan UK Limited, and the award is active. This is a single requirement for replacement arms for Tecan equipment at UKHSA Porton.

This award demonstrates demand from UKHSA for specialist replacement components supporting Tecan laboratory equipment at its Porton scientific facility. A credible future competitor would need direct knowledge of Tecan equipment and the ability to provide replacement arms that are technically compatible with the relevant systems. Suppliers should be able to manage a public-sector framework call-off, supply precision laboratory equipment reliably and deliver to a regulated public health environment. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, so specialist smaller businesses may be commercially relevant where they have the necessary product access, technical capability and supply capacity. Manufacturers, authorised UK distributors and equipment-maintenance specialists are the clearest comparator businesses.
