## Summary

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) procured an Eclipse Ci-L Plus microscope and accessories. This is a laboratory and optical equipment supply for APHA, with a delivery address in KT15 3NB. The purchase was made under the London Universities Purchasing Consortium framework agreement for low-end teaching optical microscopes. The requirement is for equipment rather than installation, research services or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GT Vision Ltd on 21 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £13,808. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 December 2027. The supplier was selected through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original submission deadline was 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The purchase is a single equipment requirement, rather than a set of separately awarded lots. The tender records suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers of laboratory microscopes and related accessories, this award demonstrates APHA’s demand for a teaching-grade optical microscope supplied through an established purchasing framework. GT Vision Ltd was selected for a focused equipment supply rather than a broad laboratory fit-out, so a credible competitor would need to source and supply the specified Eclipse Ci-L Plus model and compatible accessories. Framework access and the ability to respond to a selective call-off would be commercially relevant. The recorded suitability for SMEs suggests suppliers of this scale could be well placed to compete, provided they can meet APHA’s equipment requirements and framework terms. The opportunity indicates a modest, discrete supply requirement, rather than a large multi-site equipment programme. The delivery location is KT15 3NB.‌
