## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency bought two tabletop centrifuges as contingency equipment for its virology work in Manchester. This is a supply requirement for laboratory equipment, rather than a service or construction project. Delivery is in Manchester, North West England. The equipment supports the agency’s virology operations by providing backup centrifuge capacity. The buying organisation is the UK Health Security Agency.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Camlab Limited. The award was made on 25 September 2026, with a contract period from 25 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £15,687.72. The requirement was handled as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The stated tender deadline was 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not describe separate lots or an evaluation basis, so the recorded outcome is the selection of Camlab Limited for the two centrifuges.

This award shows that the UK Health Security Agency procures contingency centrifuges for its Manchester virology operation through framework call-offs. Suppliers positioned for a future requirement should be able to supply laboratory centrifuges suitable for virology use and provide equipment in a small, defined quantity. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that this scale of equipment supply was delivered by an SME. Credibility for comparable work rests on supplying the required centrifuge equipment and being able to meet the buyer’s call-off requirements under the relevant framework. The purchase demonstrates demand for backup laboratory capacity at this buyer, rather than a broader requirement for laboratory services or construction.
