UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured three Myra9 liquid-handler robots. The equipment is for an automated liquid-handling platform used in PCR setup and high-throughput molecular workflows. This is a goods requirement for laboratory and molecular testing equipment, classified under CPV 38800000 for industrial process-control and remote-control equipment. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist laboratory-equipment suppliers able to provide Myra9 liquid handlers or equivalent equipment supporting automated PCR preparation and molecular testing operations. The buyer is a central government health-security organisation, so suppliers serving public-sector laboratories, diagnostic services or national testing infrastructure may find the requirement commercially relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Bio Molecular Systems Ltd was selected as supplier. The award covers one lot and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £97,043 excluding VAT and £116,451.60 including VAT. The contract is active. The stated requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct-award route rather than an open tender, and the published process records the award as active and the tender as complete. The quantity awarded was three Myra9 liquid-handler robots for the specified molecular-workflow application.

This award demonstrates established demand from the UK Health Security Agency for automated laboratory equipment supporting PCR preparation and high-throughput molecular workflows. Suppliers considering similar health-security requirements would need credible capability in liquid-handling robotics, laboratory automation and equipment used in molecular testing environments. They would also need to supply three-unit equipment requirements at public-sector scale, provide equipment suitable for integration into an automated liquid-handling platform, and support deployment in UK laboratory operations. The selected supplier is an SME specialising in molecular systems, indicating that a specialist laboratory-technology business can serve this type of central-government buyer. Relevant competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate product knowledge, reliable supply and practical understanding of automated PCR workflows rather than general laboratory-equipment capability alone.
