UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is procuring a supply of qualitative enzyme immunoassay testing kits and related diagnostic supplies. The kits will be used for batch release testing of vaccines and reference reagents. The requirement covers products already internally qualified and validated for established test methods, supporting consistent testing, regulatory compliance and data integrity. Alternative, equivalent or substitute products and brands will not be accepted. This is a goods requirement delivered in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at Canary Wharf in London. Suppliers should therefore be manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist laboratory-supply businesses able to provide the specified qualitative enzyme immunoassay kits exactly as required.

The process reached tender: the MHRA invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission permitted in English via its e-sourcing portal. The deadline for enquiries was 19 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 9 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 October 2026 to 16 October 2031, with renewal options of 1+1+1, allowing a maximum end date of 16 October 2034. The estimated value is £120,000 excluding VAT, or £144,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the award weighting is 60% technical quality, 30% commercial, and 10% social value. Payment terms are 30 days.

This opportunity suits specialist suppliers of qualitative enzyme immunoassay kits, diagnostic supplies and laboratory testing products. Bidders need the capability to supply the exact products identified in the specification: the buyer will not accept alternative, equivalent or substitute products or brands. Products must therefore be compatible with the buyer’s established test methods and support the required standards of method consistency, regulatory compliance and data integrity. Suppliers should have dependable access to the specified validated product range and the operational capacity to provide continuing supply for a long-term public-sector requirement. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist SMEs with the necessary product access, supply-chain resilience and technical understanding may be well placed to compete.
