## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of four Eppendorf X50S thermocyclers, aimed at enhancing their laboratory services. This selective procurement, conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, falls under the industry category of laboratory services (CPV code 71900000), with a total contract value of £30,980. Key dates in the process include the tender period ending on 5th November 2025 and the contract commencing on 6th November 2025, running until 31st March 2026. The thermocyclers were to be delivered to locations in the United Kingdom, with the primary address stated as E14 4PU, London.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in laboratory equipment, particularly those supplying high-performance PCR and temperature-sensitive devices. As it involved a selective procurement method under a framework agreement, businesses already part of relevant frameworks would have been well-positioned to compete. Although this specific procurement has concluded, similar future contracts could offer growth prospects for suppliers of laboratory technology solutions with a track record of providing innovative and efficient equipment. Companies similar in scale to Scientific Laboratory Supplies Limited, which was awarded the contract, might find these opportunities particularly viable for business expansion.

## Notice

The Eppendorf Mastercycler X50s is a high-performance thermocycler designed for advanced PCR applications. It supports fully skirted plates and delivers superior thermal performance, with rapid heating and cooling rates of up to 10degC/s and 5degC/s, respectively ideal for temperature-sensitive protocols such as hybrid capture and for minimizing run times. Its unique 2D-Gradient feature enables simultaneous optimisation of denaturation and annealing temperatures, improving experimental efficiency. With precise temperature control, a user-friendly touchscreen interface, and compatibility with a range of plate formats, the X50s is a versatile and reliable solution for applications including DNA barcoding, library preparation, and hybrid capture workflows.
