## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency bought a NanoDrop Eight spectrophotometer, a laboratory instrument used for optical measurement. The requirement was for the supply of the instrument, rather than a wider laboratory service or works package. Delivery was stated as being in the United Kingdom. The procurement is relevant to suppliers of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, particularly businesses able to supply this spectrophotometer or an equivalent instrument for a UK public-sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and Thermo Fisher Scientific was selected for the contract. The award date was 22 September 2026, and the contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 22 September 2027. The awarded value is £21,000. The purchase was made through a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective process. The tender deadline was 15 September 2026. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described further.

This award shows that the Agency procures specialist laboratory measurement equipment through framework call-offs, with a requirement for a NanoDrop Eight spectrophotometer. Businesses competing when this specific requirement returns would need to be able to supply the instrument and participate in the relevant framework route. The recorded award went to Thermo Fisher Scientific, demonstrating that a supplier able to provide the specified equipment satisfied this procurement. The purchase is a focused equipment supply rather than a broader laboratory services opportunity; suppliers whose offer is limited to unrelated laboratory services are less closely aligned.
