Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought four BINDER CB170 CO₂ incubators for its Cambridge operations. The requirement included stacking adaptors, bases with castors, access ports and delivery. This is a specialist laboratory equipment supply contract, classified under CPV 33152000 for incubators, rather than a construction or general services opportunity. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based at Hills Road, Cambridge. The awarded supplier, LABCOLD LIMITED, is based in Basingstoke and supplied the equipment for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on providing complete, compatible incubator units and associated equipment, including the accessories needed for installation or use, together with delivery to the healthcare organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold tender procedure. One lot was awarded to LABCOLD LIMITED, with an active award and contract. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 December 2026. Its value is £34,946 excluding VAT, or £41,935.20 including VAT. The award covers the supply of four BINDER CB170 CO₂ incubators and the specified accessories and delivery. The published outcome identifies goods as the procurement category. The award relates to the complete requirement rather than separate supplier awards, and the contract remains active for the stated period.

This requirement is commercially relevant to suppliers of laboratory and cell-culture equipment, particularly businesses able to provide BINDER CB170 CO₂ incubators or an equivalent authorised supply route. A credible competitor would need to assemble the full package: four incubators, compatible stacking adaptors, castor-mounted bases, access ports and delivery, rather than offering standalone units only. The award demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals for a defined, multi-unit laboratory equipment purchase through a below-threshold route. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist equipment distributor can serve this type of NHS requirement at moderate scale. Relevant capability therefore centres on product availability, accessory compatibility, reliable logistics and the ability to supply healthcare laboratory equipment as one coordinated package.
