Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured the supply and installation of haematology analysers for CDEP. This is a laboratory equipment requirement, involving analysers used for haematology testing and the associated installation service. The procurement is classified under laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The buyer is a central government public authority, with its stated address in London. The requirement concerns one completed lot. It is relevant to manufacturers, specialist laboratory equipment distributors, healthcare technology suppliers and contractors able to provide both the analysers and their installation. Businesses focused solely on unrelated medical consumables, general office equipment or laboratory services without equipment supply are unlikely to be suitable competitors for this requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Woodley Equipment Company Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026, with a period from 15 July 2026 to 28 October 2026. Its value is £23,419.50 excluding VAT, or £28,103.40 including VAT. The award date is not separately recorded, but the signed contract confirms the selected supplier and the agreed scope. The outcome shows that the buyer obtained the required haematology analysers and installation through a non-competitive below-threshold route.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement within UK public health for specialist haematology analysers, rather than a broad laboratory equipment purchase. Suppliers best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns will be able to identify suitable analyser models, supply equipment that meets clinical laboratory needs, and carry out reliable installation within a short contract period. Credibility is likely to come from relevant experience supplying and installing haematology or closely related laboratory analysers, with the operational capacity to deliver equipment and installation as one service. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was within the scale of a specialist SME rather than necessarily limited to a major multinational manufacturer.
