## Summary

The procurement process involves the buying organisation, UK Research & Innovation, acquiring a Mass Spectrometry System for untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics. The procurement, classified under the industry category of mass spectrometers, is based in Swindon, United Kingdom, with a delivery requirement in the London region. This tender process, tagged as an 'award' stage, concluded with the award announcement on 29th December 2025, following the end of the tender period on 9th December 2025. The procurement method used was 'selective', specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period starting on 22nd December 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026. The total contract value was £899,933.27, awarded to Fisher Scientific UK.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for enterprises specialising in the production and supply of mass spectrometry systems, particularly those focused on advanced biotechnology applications. Given the procurement's selective method, businesses with pre-existing framework agreements and those equipped to deliver high-value goods efficiently will find this particularly advantageous. Suppliers with a presence or delivery capability within the UK, especially near research hubs, will also benefit from swift logistics and the potential for long-term partnerships with the UK Research & Innovation. The contract does not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for established suppliers capable of meeting substantial deliverables.
