## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has completed a public procurement process for Sterility Testing services in the United Kingdom, specifically at their location in Hertfordshire. This procurement, which falls under the laboratory services industry category, was conducted through an open procedure below threshold. The tender process reached its award stage, with the contract awarded on 6 June 2025 and scheduled to run from 2 June 2025 to 2 June 2028. The contract, valued at £30,000, was awarded to Reading Scientific Services Limited, highlighting the strategic partnership for the next three years.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities particularly for companies specialising in laboratory and testing services, including those providing laboratory reagents and research laboratory services. Although this specific contract has been awarded to a large enterprise, open procedures below threshold are generally favourable to small to medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to enter or expand in the public sector. Companies considering future participation in similar MHRA procurement processes can benefit from capitalising on the trend for openness to diverse suppliers and the increasing demand for specialised laboratory services.
