## Summary

The procurement process involves Public Health England, which has awarded a contract for the refurbishment of a laboratory filling/capping machine to Watson Marlow Ltd. This project falls under the industrial process control equipment category and is located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The award was made following a limited procurement method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with key dates including the end of the tender period on 1st February 2019 and a contract period lasting until 1st April 2020, valued at £200,000.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial process control equipment and related services, particularly those with experience in laboratory machinery refurbishments. Companies well-suited to compete for similar tenders include SMEs in engineering and technological services, especially those capable of meeting specific technical requirements and with a focus on process optimisation. The contract has been awarded in a narrow procurement framework, which creates a competitive advantage for specialised providers like Watson Marlow Ltd, making it essential for potential competitors to demonstrate unique capabilities or innovative solutions.
