## Summary

DEFRA procured laboratory equipment installation services for its LSBA and B940 facilities. The requirement covers installation work associated with laboratory equipment, classified under CPV 51430000. Delivery is associated with DEFRA’s site at Woodham Lane, Addlestone, Surrey, KT15 3NB, in the South East of England. The buyer is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of standalone laboratory goods, so relevant suppliers are those able to install and commission laboratory equipment in an operational public-sector or scientific facility. The named requirement is an order for laboratory equipment for LSBA and B940, indicating that the work relates to specified facilities rather than a general programme of laboratory installation across multiple locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wolf Laboratories Limited following a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The award was made on 16 September 2026 for £128,252 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 16 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The original estimated procurement range was £128,000 to £160,000. The tender submission deadline was 15 September 2026 at 12:00. The process used the services category and a direct procurement method, with the single-tender route identified as the procurement method detail. The award is active, and one supplier is recorded as receiving the contract. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that DEFRA has a defined requirement for laboratory equipment installation at its LSBA and B940 facilities, procured through a below-threshold single-tender route and delivered by a specialist laboratory supplier. A credible competitor for comparable future work would need practical capability in installing laboratory equipment, coordinating delivery into a scientific or public-sector site, and completing the work within a defined contract period. Experience of supplying and installing laboratory equipment would be directly relevant, particularly where the supplier can manage both equipment-related requirements and installation services as one package. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement was unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that future competitors should be able to demonstrate the scale, resources and specialist capacity expected for this type of DEFRA requirement.
