Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process relates to the provision of a digital microscope by Public Health England, a key organisation in the health and emergency response sector, particularly in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically microscopes, and was conducted using a direct procurement method through a single tender action due to extreme urgency. The contract, valued at £19,521, spans from 20th May 2020 to 19th May 2021, with the award published on 31st March 2021, indicating the completion of the tender stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of laboratory equipment, particularly those that can deliver critical medical supplies at short notice.
