UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for laboratory refurbishment works at their Glasgow facility. The initiative, titled "Glasgow Lab Refurbishment Works", falls under the construction and engineering sector, specifically focusing on laboratory building construction and related installations. As part of the central government's public authorities, this procurement process is entering the preliminary market engagement phase, with interested companies asked to respond by completing a questionnaire by 25th June 2026. The anticipated contract period is set to commence on 24th August 2026 and conclude by 23rd February 2028, offering an opportunity for renewal. The project is valued at £720,000 gross.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory and construction works, specifically those capable of handling mechanical, electrical, and scientific installations. SMEs are notably encouraged to engage with this tender, as the lot suitability criteria highlight their inclusion. The project's location in Glasgow positions it as an excellent prospect for Scottish and UK-based construction and engineering companies looking to expand their portfolio in the governmental sector. Engagement is initiated through preliminary market dialogue, providing an entry point for businesses to align their service offerings with government needs and potentially secure a longstanding partnership with public authorities.
