Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought laboratory agar plates for use in its laboratory work. The order covered three irradiated products: tryptone soya agar contact plates, Sabouraud dextrose agar plates and tryptone soya agar in deep-flask format. The listed quantities were 790 packs of contact plates, 135 packs of Sabouraud dextrose agar and 2,600 packs of tryptone soya agar; each pack contains 10 plates. The products are laboratory reagents and consumables. Delivery was to the Cambridge area in the United Kingdom. The requirement was managed by the Trust, with Oxoid Limited selected as supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Oxoid Limited was awarded the contract for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 23 October 2026 to 22 January 2027. Its value is £26,912.85 excluding VAT and £32,295.42 including VAT. The procurement was described as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award covered three types of irradiated agar plates, in the quantities and pack sizes described above. The available award information identifies a single lot and does not provide an evaluation basis or eligibility requirements.

This award indicates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for prepared, irradiated agar plate consumables used in laboratory work. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified product types and formats, including contact plates and deep-flask tryptone soya agar, and reliably fulfil orders at the quantities involved. The Trust selected Oxoid Limited, a laboratory products supplier, for this requirement. Suppliers with a dependable supply chain for laboratory culture media and the ability to meet the Trust’s product specifications and delivery requirements are best placed to compete if this same purchasing need returns. The purchase was handled as a below-threshold procurement, so familiarity with supplying public healthcare laboratories and responding to the buyer’s purchasing process would be commercially relevant.
