UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for contract ID 019027-2025 involves the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), a central government buyer, for the supply of reagents for Genie lab equipment, specifically for Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) testing. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category in the laboratory reagents industry, with the location specified across four main sites in South East England. The procurement method was direct and executed without competition, due to its below-threshold nature. The tender process is now complete, having moved to the award stage, and the contract was signed on 24th April 2025. The contract is active from 1st May 2025 and is slated to run until 30th April 2027, with a potential extension up to March 2028.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and reagents, particularly those with experience supplying to government or public sector entities. Given the completeness and specificity of the procurement needs, companies that can efficiently manage logistics and maintain high-quality standards, such as OptiGene Limited, who won the contract, would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. The procurement process also emphasizes timely delivery and customer communication, as outlined by the accessible key performance indicators, making it attractive to firms that excel in these operational areas.
