## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency procured a maintenance service plan for Tecan laboratory equipment at its Porton site in the United Kingdom. The requirement is a specialist laboratory equipment maintenance service, intended to support the continued operation of Tecan equipment used at UKHSA Porton. The buying organisation is the UK Health Security Agency. The procurement is categorised as services and is associated with laboratory services. The opportunity is relevant to businesses that maintain, service or support Tecan equipment in laboratory environments, particularly suppliers able to provide planned maintenance and associated technical support for an operational public health laboratory site. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 12:00. UK Health Security Agency awarded the contract to Tecan UK Limited on 10 August 2026 for £753,369.87, including the stated contract value in GBP. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 May 2029. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available outcome identifies the selected supplier and awarded value but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. This is a single awarded requirement for the Tecan maintenance service plan at UKHSA Porton.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for maintaining Tecan laboratory equipment within a UK public health organisation. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical expertise in Tecan systems, the ability to deliver planned maintenance reliably in a laboratory setting, and sufficient engineering capacity to support critical equipment throughout the service term. Experience of working in regulated or public-sector laboratory environments would help establish confidence in service quality, continuity and compliance. Businesses should also understand how to compete through framework call-offs, since this buyer used that route. The award to a specialist SME indicates that a large corporate scale was not essential; focused equipment expertise and dependable delivery capacity were central commercial advantages.
