UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is buying servicing, repair and maintenance for more than 150 microbiological safety cabinets, fume cupboards, laminar-flow equipment, AFOS tables and other safety devices installed under COSHH. The work also includes thorough examination of local exhaust ventilation systems. This is laboratory equipment maintenance and safety-testing work, rather than a supply-only contract. The equipment is used in laboratory settings, and delivery is listed across the United Kingdom. The requirement is grouped into one lot and covers the maintenance and examination service as a whole.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Tecomak Environmental Services Ltd. The award is dated 23 September 2026, at a value of £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). The awarded contract period is 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2029, with two optional 24-month extensions, giving a stated maximum extent to 5 October 2033. The procurement used an open procedure. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60%, commercial cost at 30% and social value at 10%. The lot was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Four bids were received, with three at the final stage; all three final-stage bids were from SMEs.

This award shows demand for a supplier able to maintain and repair a large, varied estate of laboratory containment and safety equipment, while also carrying out thorough examinations of local exhaust systems. A credible competitor would need technical expertise across microbiological safety cabinets, fume cupboards, laminar-flow equipment, AFOS tables and related COSHH safety devices, together with the capacity to service more than 150 units and test ventilation systems reliably. The evaluation gave technical quality the greatest weight, so evidence of competent maintenance, safe working practices and a robust service approach would matter more than price alone; commercial cost and social value also contributed. The SME suitability and the strong SME representation in final-stage bids show that smaller specialists competed at this scale.
