This procurement falls under the goods category within the industry classification of liquid nitrogen (CPV: 24111800). The contract, which was part of the Lab Gases Framework LAB4041 SU, covers delivery to the South East region of the United Kingdom and is valued at £137,500. The procurement process, now in the award stage, was completed on 16 April 2025. The contract period extends from 17 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Although the procurement method details were not specified, this tender represents a call-off from an established framework agreement.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of industrial gases. While the contract has been awarded to BOC Ltd, a large-scale supplier, smaller enterprises specialising in the niche market of special gases may also consider future tenders within this framework. Although not specifically geared towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors, participating in such procurement processes can enhance market visibility and establish valuable partnerships in the scientific research sector.
