Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency purchased VRD thermocyclers for business continuity planning and service improvement. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, with delivery to E14 4PU in London. The procurement covers the supply of thermocyclers; no wider equipment or service scope is described. The buyer is the UK Health Security Agency, and the requirement is for goods rather than works or services. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to supply this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bio-Rad Laboratories Limited. The award was made on 30 September 2026, with a contract period from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2027. The awarded value is £12,970. The UK Health Security Agency used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is for one thermocycler requirement; no separate lots are identified. No detailed evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from the UK Health Security Agency for thermocyclers supporting business continuity planning and service improvement. Suppliers competing for a comparable future requirement would need to provide medical laboratory equipment suited to this thermocycler use, with delivery to the buyer’s London location. The purchase was made through a call-off from a framework agreement, so experience supplying through an appropriate framework route would be relevant. The buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller equipment suppliers could be credible competitors. The selected supplier was Bio-Rad Laboratories Limited. The requirement is a focused equipment supply rather than a broader service contract, so relevant product capability and the ability to fulfil the specified supply would be central.
