## Summary

Genomics England Limited, located at One Canada Square, London, sought to procure an automated liquid handler for their Hinxton laboratory, classified under the CPV code 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The procurement, valued at £118,177, and categorized under 'goods', was handled using a direct procurement method through a single tender action, below the threshold for competitive bidding. This process reached the award stage on 12th February 2025, with Eppendorf UK Limited, a large-scale supplier, being the successful contractor. The awarded contract covered the supply of the equipment to England, United Kingdom, and had its contract period commencing and concluding on 13th February 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as it aligns with the suitability requirements set for such companies. Although the procurement in this instance followed a direct method, it indicates a focused need in laboratory automation in the UK market. Lab equipment manufacturers or suppliers, especially those with capabilities to deliver precision equipment in a timely manner, might find similar opportunities to provide innovative solutions, improve operational efficiencies, and foster growth by engaging in government procurement processes. Businesses within the laboratory technology sector should remain attentive to potential direct procurement routes and build connections with organisations like Genomics England Limited to compete effectively in similar future opportunities.
