## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency procured anaerobic workstations, specialist laboratory equipment used to support work with organisms that require oxygen-free conditions. The requirement falls within laboratory, optical and precision equipment and is classified as goods. UKHSA is the buying organisation, based at 10 South Colonnade, London. Delivery is described broadly across the United Kingdom and other locations including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist laboratory equipment suppliers able to provide anaerobic workstations and support delivery across a wide geographical area for a public-sector health and security organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UKHSA used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 27 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 17 August 2026 to Don Whitley Scientific Limited for £104,222.74 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. The published requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement was for goods. The award is active, with one supplier identified for the anaerobic workstation requirement. No lot structure or separate evaluation weighting is recorded for this award.

This award demonstrates UKHSA demand for specialist anaerobic workstations and shows that the requirement was fulfilled by an SME through a framework call-off. Businesses competing when a comparable requirement returns would need credible capability in supplying laboratory equipment for anaerobic applications, with products suitable for a public health and laboratory environment. Relevant suppliers include specialist manufacturers, authorised distributors and firms able to combine equipment supply with dependable technical support, installation or after-sales service where required by the specification. Framework access or a route into an appropriate framework would be commercially important, because this purchase was made through a framework agreement rather than as a standalone open tender. The broad delivery geography also favours suppliers with effective logistics and UK-wide fulfilment capacity.
