## Summary

The University of Leeds is seeking planned preventative maintenance, repairs and support services for centrifuges and incubators used by its Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. This is specialist laboratory equipment servicing, covering both routine maintenance and reactive repair and support. The work is to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement is presented as a moveable atmospheric observatory, but its description specifies maintenance and support for centrifuges and incubators.

The University of Leeds invited offers through an open procedure. The stated tender submission deadline was 5 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028. The estimated contract value is £50,000 to £100,000. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. The buyer says the opportunity may suit small and medium-sized enterprises; tenderer selection is based solely on the procurement’s stated criteria. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis beyond that statement.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers with the technical capability to maintain, diagnose faults in and repair centrifuges and incubators, and to provide ongoing support for laboratory equipment. Providers able to deliver both planned preventative maintenance and responsive repairs will match the stated scope. The work spans two equipment types and requires service delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber over a sustained contract period, so bidders should be equipped to provide dependable local coverage and continuity of support. The buyer expressly considers the opportunity potentially suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to specialist smaller service firms as well as larger laboratory equipment maintenance providers. The stated selection approach is based on the procurement criteria; no particular accreditation or minimum capacity requirement is described.
