UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting through the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, recently awarded a contract for the purchase of a Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) to Analytix Limited. Located in London, the buyer operates within the central government public authority sector, with the contract specifically aimed at goods procurement. The procurement process was direct, below the threshold, and concluded without competition, with the status marked as complete. The contract became active on 9th July 2026 and is set to conclude by the end of December 2026, with a gross value of £35,172.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific equipment manufacturing and supply, particularly those capable of providing mass spectrometers. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Analytix Limited, which possess a strong foothold in niche scientific equipment sectors, could find similar procurement processes beneficial for expanding their market presence. The direct procurement method, although limited in competition, is ideal for suppliers already engaged in, or looking to establish, government contracts for high precision analytical instruments. Businesses looking to engage with central government procurement processes should closely monitor such opportunities for growth within their industry verticals.
