Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), a central government public authority based in London, has completed the procurement process for its Project C28271, requiring an Egg Candling Table in the hatchery. The procurement was conducted via an open competition, classifying under the laboratory, optical and precision equipment category, with additional links to agricultural machinery and engineering services. The contract has been awarded to Peakbridge Global Limited, located in Chesterfield, for the delivery and installation of goods valued at £24,000. The procurement process commenced with tender updates in March 2025, leading to contract finalisation on 16th June 2025 and is scheduled to run through to 31st July 2026. Relevant key dates included an enquiry period ending on 14th April 2025 and a submission deadline on 16th April 2025.

This procurement offers notable opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory, agricultural, and precision equipment production. SMEs will find this open competition particularly suited to their capabilities, as the award criteria weighed heavily on technical proposals alongside pricing considerations. The requirement for specialized machinery pertinent to efficient egg sorting could be an attractive venture for firms involved in producing agricultural machinery or developing engineering solutions, aligning with APHA’s demand for innovation in hatchery operations. Businesses looking to expand within the UK, particularly those keen to collaborate with government agencies in supplying specialized equipment, may find APHA’s projects conducive for growth and visibility.
