Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, facilitated by UK Research and Innovation, involved the award of a contract focused on the acquisition of a Neon electroporator. This step in the procurement was categorised under 'goods' and pursued through a limited competition method, which was below the threshold. The process has reached the award stage, culminating in the active status of the contract as of 3 December 2025, with a contract period stretching from the start date to 8 December 2025. The contract details are noted, with the parties involved based in Swindon, United Kingdom, reflecting the central government public authority category.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for enterprises specialising in advanced scientific instruments. With UK Research and Innovation acting as the buying organisation and LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED as the supplier, the procurement aligns well with manufacturers of neon electroporators and other related apparatus. The limited competition approach suggests a targeted procurement process, offering potential advantages for suppliers with specialised, niche offerings. Businesses equipped to provide high-quality scientific equipment would benefit from similar opportunities, fostering growth through strategic engagement with public sector contracts.
