UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Public Health Wales NHS Trust is procuring five 1200mm Class II microbiological safety cabinets for laboratory use, together with the relocation of one existing cabinet. The requirement covers the complete equipment and installation service: decontamination, decommissioning, removal and disposal of existing units, installation of the new cabinets, commissioning, and relocation of the existing unit. This is a goods procurement with associated specialist installation and laboratory decontamination work. Delivery and implementation are across Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is managing the procurement process for Public Health Wales NHS Trust. The bulk purchase is intended to provide cost efficiencies compared with buying the cabinets individually.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically through the eTenderWales procurement system. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 October 2026 at 17:00, and tender responses were due by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £122,000 excluding VAT, or £146,400 including VAT. There is one lot covering the full requirement. Offers are evaluated on commercial cost weighted at 80%, sustainability at 15%, and technical quality at 5%. The procurement is below the applicable threshold and uses an open competition procedure.

This opportunity suits suppliers specialising in microbiological safety cabinets, laboratory containment equipment and associated installation services. Strong candidates will be able to supply 1200mm Class II cabinets and manage the full delivery process, including safe decontamination, decommissioning, removal and disposal of existing equipment, relocation of an existing cabinet, installation and commissioning of new units. The requirement is suited to businesses with coordinated equipment supply, specialist laboratory engineering and site-installation capacity across Wales. Experience of working safely in laboratory environments and delivering commissioned containment equipment would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate a credible sustainability approach, since sustainability contributes 15% of the evaluation. The single-lot structure favours contractors able to provide the complete package rather than only one element.
