UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust aimed at acquiring a "Cytopower scaler" as part of their Advanced System Integration (ASI) system is in its completion stage. Classified under the "goods" category, this tender was conducted via a procurement method that falls below the standard threshold, with no specific method detail provided. The procurement pertains to the public authority within the central government sector, directed from Cambridge, United Kingdom (region UKH12). The contract, awarded to Cytocell Ltd, is set for a period starting on the 31st of March 2026 and ending on the 30th of June 2026, with the contract signing date recorded as the 30th of March 2026. The procurement's gross value is approximately £49,472.05, highlighting a significant investment in the provision of specialised cytometry equipment.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in medical and laboratory equipment. Companies with expertise in supplying high-quality cytometric technology would find this type of procurement advantageous in expanding their client base within the NHS and the wider healthcare sector. Given the tentative nature of the procurement method and the specificity of the goods required, businesses that can provide comprehensive support, scalable technology, and competitive pricing will be well-positioned to compete effectively in similar future tenders. As this procurement falls within the public authority domain and involves complex scientific apparatus, organisations capable of navigating these intricacies will benefit most.
