UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was conducted by the University of the West of England, located at Frenchay Campus, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol, United Kingdom. This procurement was for the supply of an "Eppendorf Cryocube," specifically the model F570h, which falls under the industry category of goods related to refrigerating and freezing equipment parts. The procurement was completed with a direct method, below the threshold and without competition, and involved the award of a contract to SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY SUPPLIES LIMITED, based in Hessle, United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract performance period from 17th April 2026 to 18th April 2026. The contract was valued at GBP 34,363.00 with an additional gross amount of GBP 41,235.60, and was officially signed on 16th April 2026.

This tender presents various opportunities for businesses providing specialised laboratory equipment, particularly those involved in the supply and service of refrigerating and freezing equipment components. Given that the direct procurement method was employed, this could suggest further opportunities for similar suppliers that establish a reputation for quality and reliability in their goods. Large-scale companies specialising in scientific laboratory supplies, like SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY SUPPLIES LIMITED, are well-positioned to engage in such procurement activities due to their capacity to fulfil detailed and potentially large orders within the public sector context. This contract highlights the potential market growth for businesses willing to establish strong partnerships with sub-central government entities, such as universities.
