## Summary

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), based in London, is managing the procurement for the servicing of anaerobic workstations at their Starcross facility. This public procurement falls under the laboratory services industry category (CPV: 71900000), and the contract was awarded to Don Whitley Scientific Limited. The procurement method used was a single tender action due to the contract value being below threshold, with a direct award process. Key dates include the awarding date on 4th November 2024, and the contract period spans from 1st November 2024 to 30th October 2027. The service locations include the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and other global regions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the specialised laboratory equipment service sector. With a focus on anaerobic workstations, companies offering similar high-complexity, niche services can find growth potential through establishing relationships with important public health agencies like APHA. Additionally, while the procurement is not specifically suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), it opens avenues for businesses that can meet the specific service requirements and quality standards needed for such specialised maintenance contracts.
