Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process entitled "Purchase of a laboratory glasswasher" was conducted by Prifysgol Bangor / Bangor University, situated in Bangor, United Kingdom. The process has been completed, with the contract awarded on 2nd May 2025 to VWR International Ltd. The contract is for the purchase of a slimline laboratory glasswasher and associated goods, valued at £32,304.70 net (£38,765.64 gross), with an anticipated contract period lasting until 2nd May 2030. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically related to washer/dryers, and was conducted using a ‘limited’ procurement method, indicating a limited competition due to it being below the threshold.

This tender provides business growth opportunities primarily for suppliers of laboratory equipment, especially those specialising in lab glassware cleaning solutions. Given that the procurement favoured below-threshold limited competition, businesses with a proven track record in delivering high-quality laboratory appliances might have strong competitive leverage. Companies capable of offering comprehensive after-sales services such as chemical supplies and maintenance will be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities within the public sector, particularly under devolved regulations in the UK regions.
