Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves the UK Health Security Agency, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to extend an existing contract for the provision of serology kits. This direct award contract, valued at 294,773.63 USD, was awarded to Inbios International Inc. on 12th January 2026. The procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically diagnostic kits, and is aligned with the legal framework detailed in the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023. The contract, active from 13th January 2026 to 11th January 2031, will address the diagnostic needs at RIPL diagnostic service in the UK. The choice of a direct award was necessitated due to technical compatibility requirements with existing services.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in diagnostic equipment and laboratory reagents, particularly those capable of meeting specific compatibility needs with existing systems. It is especially suitable for businesses that can efficiently collaborate with public sector organisations like central government bodies. Future contract opportunities could arise from similar requirements for technical or specialised goods, allowing businesses well-versed in compliance and technical integration to expand their service offerings within the public health sector.
