UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured a three-year Te-Care servicing arrangement for its Tecan Evo robots. The requirement is for repair and maintenance services for medical and precision equipment, covering the operation and upkeep of these laboratory automation robots. The work is associated with UKRI’s facilities in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, while UKRI is based at Polaris House in Swindon, Wiltshire. This is a specialist equipment-maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities-management contract. Businesses whose core work includes servicing, maintaining or repairing Tecan Evo robotic systems, laboratory automation equipment, or comparable medical and precision instruments would find the requirement relevant. The named supplier is Tecan UK Ltd, based in Reading.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly to Tecan UK Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis. The award covers one completed lot and the award is active. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026, runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, and is valued at £80,981.16 excluding VAT, or £97,177.39 including VAT. UKRI selected Tecan UK Ltd for the Te-Care service contract for Tecan Evo robots. The published procurement information does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria; the route was a below-threshold direct award without competitive tendering. The contract remains active for its stated service period.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from UKRI for specialist maintenance of Tecan Evo robots and provides a useful benchmark for suppliers tracking laboratory automation support work with this buyer. Competitors would need demonstrable technical capability to maintain and repair Tecan Evo systems, together with the operational capacity to provide dependable planned and responsive service across UKRI’s relevant facilities. Experience with medical, laboratory or other precision equipment would help establish credibility, particularly where equipment uptime, safe operation and accurate servicing are important. Suppliers should also be able to deliver a structured multi-year support service rather than one-off repairs. Because the previous requirement was awarded directly without competition, businesses should understand the buyer’s equipment-specific service needs and the basis on which a future requirement might be sourced.
