## Summary

The Animal and Plant Health Agency procured a FLUOstar® Omega Lite computer-controlled microplate reader, a laboratory instrument used to measure samples in microplates. The purchase was described as part of the LUPC General Laboratory Instrument and Associated Post Installation Services framework, under its measurement lot. The item is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom and a range of international locations; a UK postcode is also listed. The requirement is for equipment rather than a general laboratory service, although the framework title also covers associated post-installation services. The named buyer is the Animal and Plant Health Agency.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BMG LABTECH Ltd on 24 September 2026. The award value is £27,863. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2027. The purchase was made through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than through a standalone open tender. The original tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 12:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published information identifies a single instrument requirement and does not describe separate lots or an evaluation formula.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from the Animal and Plant Health Agency for a computer-controlled microplate reader within its laboratory measurement equipment framework. Suppliers well placed for a comparable future requirement would be able to supply this type of instrument and support its installation, as the framework covers associated post-installation services. The selected supplier, BMG LABTECH Ltd, indicates the product supplier route used for this purchase. The requirement is a single specialist laboratory instrument, so businesses focused on microplate readers and related laboratory equipment are more directly relevant than general laboratory service providers. The buyer used a framework call-off, making access to the relevant framework route important for competing on a comparable purchase. SMEs were identified as suitable participants.
