Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) is undertaking a procurement process for the purchase of a Live-cell Analysis System. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on analysers and microscopes. The procurement method used is a limited tender, which means there was no prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the unique technical requirements of the equipment. The contract was signed on 21 January 2022, and it is intended for delivery to Cambridgeshire County in the UK. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with an active contract valued at £123,311 awarded to Sartorius UK Limited.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the scientific equipment sector, particularly those specialising in precision and automated microscope systems. Given the specific technical requirements, businesses offering innovative imaging technologies and instruments suitable for live-cell analysis may find themselves well positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Companies that can demonstrate compatibility with existing systems in use within public research institutions such as UKRI will have a distinct advantage.
