Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was undertaken by Public Health England (PHE) for the provision of Mosquito HV and Dragonfly Liquid handling devices, classified under the medical equipment industry. This contract was awarded to SPT Labtech Ltd, valued at £840,000, with an active award status. The procurement method employed was limited, specifically through an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the urgent requirements of expanding SARS-CoV-2 sequencing capabilities.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for suppliers specialising in medical equipment, laboratory automation, and consumables, particularly those capable of rapid delivery and high-quality production. Companies with established capabilities in liquid handling solutions or innovative medical technology are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders, especially those that can meet stringent requirements for quality and reliability. Given the urgency of the project to meet public health needs, businesses that understand the dynamics of supplying essential medical equipment during critical periods will find this sector particularly rewarding for growth.
