## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency procured a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge, specifically a Megafuge ST4R Plus, together with adaptors. The equipment is used to process insect and mammalian cell cultures expressing recombinant proteins from Mpox and influenza viruses. This is a laboratory equipment and accessories requirement, classified under CPV 42931100. Delivery is associated with the UKHSA site at 10 South Colonnade, London, E14 4PU. The requirement is for a complete centrifuge-and-adaptor package rather than a general laboratory fit-out, making it relevant to suppliers of refrigerated centrifuges, compatible adaptors and specialist laboratory equipment serving public health, virology, cell culture or related research environments.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UKHSA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 28 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to Scientific Laboratory Supplies Limited for £11,968 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 16 November 2026. The award is active and covers the centrifuge and adaptors as one requirement. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier but does not set out a separate scoring model or award weighting. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a defined UKHSA demand for refrigerated benchtop centrifugation equipment and application-specific adaptors supporting infectious-disease laboratory work. A credible future supplier would need to provide the specified Megafuge ST4R Plus or an accepted equivalent, with adaptors suitable for insect and mammalian cell-culture workflows. Product knowledge, reliable equipment supply, compatibility assurance and the ability to support laboratory users handling recombinant proteins linked to Mpox and influenza would be important. Suppliers already positioned on the relevant framework, including specialist laboratory-equipment distributors and SME businesses, are best placed to compete through the same call-off route. Experience supplying public-sector or regulated laboratory environments would strengthen credibility.
