Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UK HSA) is inviting tenders for the provision of upgrades to the Biaera AeroMP control units, crucial for research on SARS-CoV-2 transmission and infection prevention, located at their Porton facility in the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the installation services of laboratory equipment category, with a total contract value of £24,500, and the tender period ends on 24th November 2021. The anticipated contract start date is 6th December 2021, and it is expected to last for one year, concluding on 5th December 2022. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, appealing particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment installation and upgrades, particularly those with experience in integrating systems compatible with existing control mechanisms. Companies engaged in providing hardware and software enhancements for scientific research applications would be particularly well-suited to compete. The successful upgrades will not only extend the capabilities for ongoing COVID-19 projects but will also broaden the utility of the control units for research involving other respiratory pathogens, thus presenting a long-term growth avenue for those in the relevant industry.

Notice Title

Provision of Upgrade to Biaera AeroMP control units

Notice Description

UK Health Security Agency (UK HSA) requires software and hardware upgrades to the existing Biaera AeroMP control units used in the Research Department, Porton; which support the study around the modes of transmission of virus SARS-CoV-2 infection implications for infection prevention and control Aerosol infection protocols have been developed and established and the Biaera AeroMP control units are critical for controlling the air flows in the Henderson Apparatus. The current AeroMP control units installed at the Porton site are more than eleven years old and both require software and hardware upgrades to maintain and advance our critical capability. The expectation is that this requirement will enhance and extend the life of the two currently owned Biaera AeroMP control units for another 10 years. Whilst these systems will focus work on COVID-19 projects, their use will expand to other projects with respiratory pathogens (e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis). The proposed solution must be fully-compatible with established and current in-house control systems (Henderson apparatus, Jun-Air vacuum and air compressor & Biaera software/AeroMP hardware) to enable the expansion of use with existing systems used within the Research Department based at Porton. UK HSA invites expressions of interest to supply this provision.
