UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency procured a Mid Throughput IDEAL™32 Extraction Robot for its laboratory operations. This is a goods requirement for laboratory, optical and precision equipment, covering the robot rather than a broader service or works package. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is the Animal and Plant Health Agency, a central government public authority. The requirement is focused on supplying the specified extraction robot, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist laboratory-equipment suppliers able to provide this type of mid-throughput automated extraction system. The procurement relates to one requirement and was handled as a single lot.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Innovative Diagnostics. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made on 4 August 2026. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 7 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. Its value is EUR 31,560 excluding tax, or EUR 37,872 including tax. The contract is active and the award is active. This was a single-lot procurement for the IDEAL™32 Extraction Robot. The outcome shows that the buyer selected one supplier through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than inviting competing tenders.

This award indicates demand from the Animal and Plant Health Agency for automated laboratory extraction equipment used in a government laboratory environment. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have credible access to the IDEAL™32 system or an equivalent mid-throughput extraction robot, together with the technical knowledge to supply, configure and support laboratory automation. Relevant experience would include working with public-sector or regulated laboratories, understanding laboratory workflows, and providing dependable equipment over a multi-year operating period. Manufacturers, authorised UK distributors and specialist laboratory-technology firms could be credible competitors, particularly where they can demonstrate product reliability, technical support, maintenance capability and the capacity to meet the needs of a central government science organisation.
