## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency has completed the award phase of a procurement process for the provision of an automated incubator and Spinnaker 3 Microplate Mover. This procurement falls under the industry category of installation services of laboratory equipment and is aimed at complementing the agency's current high-throughput cytation system. Located in London, the procurement was conducted through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with Fisher Scientific U.K., Limited selected as the supplier. The completed award was activated on 10th February 2026, following the tender period which ended on 30th January 2026. The contract is set to run from 11th February 2026 to 3rd August 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and robotic handling systems, particularly SMEs, as they can expand their reach and contribute innovative solutions to meet demand across commercial, academic, and non-profit sectors. Companies with expertise in automated laboratory machinery installation and maintenance would find this procurement beneficial, especially in addressing bottlenecks in high-throughput immunological assay development. The procurement process underscores the importance of strategic partnerships, with the selected supplier demonstrating a strong capacity for meeting the UK's security and health infrastructure needs.

## Notice

This procurement is to purchase a multi-plate stacking incubator and robotic handling system to complement the current Cytation 7 high content imager. The capacity of the Cytation 7 is currently 8 x 96-well plates per day, meaning there is now a bottle neck with developing high-throughput immunological killing assays required to meet the demand of several current and potential future commercial, academic and non-profit organisation projects.
