Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leeds procured a cell disruptor, including its supply, installation and commissioning. This is a laboratory and precision equipment requirement, within CPV 38000000, for use in Yorkshire and the Humber. The work is categorised as goods and concerns the provision of a complete operational piece of laboratory equipment rather than a standalone maintenance or consultancy service. The requirement would suit businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply specialist laboratory equipment and can also manage installation and commissioning at the University’s facilities in Leeds. The buyer is the University of Leeds, with procurement managed through its procurement function. The equipment must be delivered as part of a supply arrangement that achieves successful installation and commissioning for laboratory use.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Constant Systems Ltd on 8 July 2026 for £38,265.46 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026. The University of Leeds was the buyer, and the award is active. The procurement was advertised as potentially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although supplier selection was based on the procurement’s stated criteria. The award covers one requirement: supply, installation and commissioning of a cell disruptor. There were no separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers identified, and the award value is therefore presented for this single contract only.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of Leeds for specialist laboratory equipment supported by practical delivery capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a cell disruptor or equivalent specialist laboratory technology, understand the operating needs of research laboratories, and provide dependable installation and commissioning rather than simply ship equipment. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business can compete for this scale of requirement where it can meet the buyer’s technical and commercial criteria. Relevant strengths would include manufacturer or authorised-distributor status, qualified installation personnel, commissioning and acceptance-testing capability, and the capacity to support the equipment through its operational use. Businesses with established university or research-laboratory customers would be well placed to demonstrate relevant experience.
