## Summary

The procurement process for supplying fume cupboards to the CEFAS Lowestoft Laboratory has recently reached the award stage, with the contracting authority being the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. This procurement falls under the ‘goods’ category and adheres to the CPV code 39141500. The procurement method was a direct single tender action, falling below the threshold. The contract period started on 6th February 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2026. The title of the contract was published on 4th March 2026, with FUMAIR LIMITED named as the supplier.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment, particularly those focusing on fume cupboards. Although the procurement process was direct and below threshold, companies with similar offerings could benefit from understanding the procurement needs of public sector laboratories to potentially position themselves for future tenders. Larger enterprises might find the opportunity for partnership or subcontracting suitable given the current unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs. Understanding the specifics of such contracts can aid in tailoring services to meet public sector procurement requirements effectively.
