Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency bought ThermoFisher workflow consumables: laboratory reagent products used in health protection and testing workflows. This is a goods requirement rather than a services or works contract. The buyer is based at 10 South Colonnade, London, and the delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other international destinations. The requirement is associated with laboratory reagents under CPV code 33696500. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist laboratory supply businesses able to provide ThermoFisher consumables across a wide geographic area and support the operational needs of a national public health organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. UK Health Security Agency selected Life Technologies Limited. The award date was 5 August 2026, following a submission deadline of 1 July 2026 at noon. The contract was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with an awarded value of £100,000. Its contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement was for goods, with the award made to one supplier for the ThermoFisher workflow consumables requirement.

This award demonstrates continuing public-sector demand for branded laboratory workflow consumables within UK health protection operations. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to ThermoFisher products, strong product knowledge and the capacity to supply laboratory reagents consistently across the United Kingdom and wider delivery destinations. Experience supporting public-sector or regulated laboratory environments would help demonstrate dependable fulfilment, stock management and order handling. Businesses should also be able to work through framework call-off arrangements, meet public-sector commercial and administrative requirements, and maintain supply continuity for operational testing workflows. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so specialist distributors and smaller laboratory supply companies may be well placed to compete alongside larger suppliers.
