## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency bought CO2 incubators, together with associated goods and services, for its High Containment Microbiology, Pathogen Immunology and Advanced Cellular Immunology departments. This is a laboratory equipment supply requirement, classified as incubators (CPV 33152000). Delivery is in London, at the Authority’s E14 4PU site. The equipment is intended for use in specialist microbiology and immunology settings, including high-containment work. The purchase was made by the UK Health Security Agency, the public health body responsible for the requirement.

The procurement is complete: Fisher Scientific U.K., Limited was selected and awarded the contract on 25 September 2026. The award value was £45,491.52. The contract runs from 25 September to 31 December 2026, a three-month term. The requirement was placed by direct award as a call-off from the UK Health Security Agency’s National Microbiology Framework, Lot 2. The stated tender submission deadline was 22 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was not divided into lots for this award; Lot 2 refers to the existing framework. UKHSA recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers of laboratory equipment, this award demonstrates UKHSA demand for CO2 incubators and related goods and services supporting high-containment microbiology and specialist immunology departments. A credible competitor would need to supply incubators appropriate to these laboratory environments and provide the associated support or services required alongside the equipment. The award was made to a large supplier through a direct framework call-off, so familiarity with the National Microbiology Framework route and the ability to meet its requirements would be commercially relevant. The requirement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s assessment did not consider those supplier types suitable for this procurement.

## Notice

The Authority has entered into a three month contract with Fisher Scientific UK Limited for the supply of CO2 Incubators and ancillary Goods and Services, for use in the Authority's High Containment Microbiology, Pathogen Immunology and Advanced Cellular Immunology departments, following a Direct Award via the UK Health Security Agency (previously Public Health England) National Microbiology Framework (Ref: 5657), Lot 2.
