UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process regarding the rental of ACE PCR analysers, including the provision of reagent equipment and consumables. Categorised under laboratory reagents, this procurement is a public authority endeavour within the central government sector, based in London, UK. The direct award method was employed due to the absence of reasonable alternatives, resulting in a contract with ELITech UK Ltd. The contract, valued at approximately £473,673.49 plus VAT, was signed on 20th February 2026 and will run from 23rd February 2026 to 22nd February 2029.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and reagents, particularly those capable of supplying PCR analysers and associated consumables. The lack of competition indicated by the direct award method suggests a niche market with potential for business growth. Large-scale suppliers with experience in working with public sector organisations and NHS Trusts are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement opportunities, as are companies offering innovative, high-quality solutions meeting stringent government and healthcare standards.
