## Summary

The procurement process led by West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust involved a contract for Pathology Equipment and Reagents in the Biochemistry field, classified under the CPV code for Reagents for electrophoresis. This process, which has reached the award stage, was initiated as a tender with an emphasis on selective procurement via a call-off from a framework agreement. Taking place in the East of England, the contract has been awarded to HELENA BIOSCIENCES EUROPE and will run from 26th September 2025 to 25th September 2030. The procurement’s total value is GBP 175,410.34, with significant activities recorded between the tender period ending on 25th July 2025 and the publication of the award notice on 5th June 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in medical and laboratory supplies, particularly those with expertise in electrophoresis reagents. While the specific award does not suit small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, it still represents an opportunity for well-established suppliers able to meet the requirements of framework agreements. Companies with a strong presence in the healthcare sector, particularly those familiar with NHS operating procedures and quality standards, would find this procurement advantageous for driving business growth.
