UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured a CO2 incubator shaker bundle, including a stacking kit, for delivery to its UK operations. This is a goods requirement for laboratory equipment used to incubate and shake samples under controlled conditions. The relevant supply category is incubating shakers (CPV 38436300). UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UKRI as its shared service provider. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot and is associated with delivery within the United Kingdom. Businesses suited to this opportunity would supply laboratory equipment, particularly CO2 incubator shakers and compatible stacking systems, and would be able to arrange delivery to a UK public-sector research organisation.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender is complete and the contract was signed on 28 July 2026. Scientific Laboratory Supplies Limited was selected as supplier. The contract is active from 29 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £16,830 excluding VAT, or £20,196 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, and the requirement was evaluated through that limited competition exercise. The award relates to the complete single lot for the incubator shaker bundle. The published outcome records the supplier and contract value, providing a benchmark for the buyer’s future purchases of comparable laboratory equipment.

This award shows demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist laboratory equipment supplied as a complete package rather than as an isolated component. A credible future competitor would need product knowledge covering CO2 incubator shakers, stacking kits and associated compatibility requirements, together with the ability to source and supply reliable scientific equipment to a public research organisation. Delivery capability across the United Kingdom is relevant, as is experience responding to a limited competition process and preparing clear, compliant quotations for a defined equipment bundle. Laboratory equipment distributors, scientific supply specialists and manufacturers with suitable distribution arrangements are the most closely aligned businesses. The awarded supplier’s large-company status indicates that established supply capacity may be advantageous.
