Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, operating through the UK Health Security Agency, for the purchase of ELISpot and FluoroSpot kits and reagents. The procurement falls under the laboratory reagents category. The process, classified as an award, commenced on 8th April 2025, with the contract being signed on 4th April 2025. The delivery location for the purchased goods is the UKHSA facility in Porton Down, Salisbury, UK.

Notice Title

ELISpot and FluoroSpot kits and reagents

Notice Description

Purchase of Elispot and Fluorospot from Mabtech AB for on-going use with their specific laboratory equipment.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This project requests funding to purchase stocks of Elispot and Fluorospot from Mabtech AB for on-going use with their specific laboratory equipment

Procurement Information

The reagents / kits used in the laboratory equipment must be from the same supplier and is not uncommon to require the OEM supplies for dedicated laboratory equipment. It must be noted that should the test kits / equipment change in mid-study, this would require protocol amendments and dialogue with regulatory agencies to inform on protocol changes and study deviations. This would lead to delays in results as new impact assessments would need to be made detailing the change and gaining the relevant regulatory approvals for a change in support and must mirror those same products used before in order to maintain continuity of test data otherwise, we risk introducing potential ambiguity into the test data results.
