UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), through its Science, Engineering and Analysis Division, sought a CNC lathe with integrated extraction to replace or upgrade an existing lathe. This is a machine-tool supply requirement, intended for use at the HSE Science and Research Centre in Harpur Hill, Buxton. The procurement covers the equipment for that facility; the published description does not set out a wider installation or servicing scope. Suppliers whose business includes supplying CNC lathes and associated extraction equipment are the most directly relevant. The requirement is for a specific machine to meet the centre’s needs, rather than a general engineering service or a programme of works.

The process reached tender: the HSE invited sealed offers through a below-threshold open competition. It was divided into one lot. The enquiry deadline was 16 October 2026 at 13:00, and the tender submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 13:00. The contract period is stated as 28 February 2027. The estimated value is £62,500 excluding VAT (£75,000 including VAT). The HSE planned to assess how well the proposed product meets its requirements alongside its cost compared with other submissions. Cost assessment includes longer-term value for money, such as the cost of optional upgrades and accessories that may not be purchased at this stage. Offers and clarification requests were to be submitted through the HSE’s supplier portal.

This opportunity suits equipment suppliers able to provide a CNC lathe incorporating extraction and demonstrate that their proposed machine is appropriate for the HSE’s requirements. Competition depends on the product’s suitability and its cost, including the longer-term value of optional upgrades and accessories. Suppliers with a relevant machine range and the ability to provide clear pricing for the equipment and options are best placed to respond. The requirement is a single-machine supply for a research-centre facility, so it is most relevant to businesses serving industrial, engineering or scientific users rather than suppliers seeking a large multi-site or ongoing service contract.
