## Summary

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) commissioned refurbishment and repurposing of its stored Tecan 1080 Fluent liquid-handling platforms. The work is intended to extend the use of existing laboratory systems, drawing on UKHSA’s established in-house expertise and Tecan system integration. The refurbished platforms will help UKHSA meet operational demand across two sites and support a broader range of priority activities. This is specialist laboratory equipment refurbishment and integration work, classified under installation services for laboratory equipment (CPV 51430000). The delivery location is indicated by the postcode SP4 0JG in the procurement details, alongside a general United Kingdom address. The buying organisation is UKHSA.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Tecan UK Limited. UKHSA selected the supplier through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 24 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £281,306.22. The contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for the refurbishment and repurposing requirement as a whole; no separate lots are identified. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The recorded evaluation basis and eligibility requirements are not described in the procurement details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates UKHSA’s demand for refurbishment and repurposing of stored Tecan 1080 Fluent liquid-handling systems to support laboratory operations across two sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the practical capability to refurbish these platforms and integrate them with existing Tecan systems, while working effectively with the buyer’s established in-house expertise. The requirement is specialist laboratory equipment services rather than a general equipment supply opportunity. UKHSA used a framework call-off route, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through the applicable framework. The award shows that a supplier with Tecan platform expertise was selected to deliver work supporting operational demand and a broader range of priority activities.

## Notice

This requirement is for the refurbishment and repurposing of currently stored liquid handling platforms, specifically the Tecan 1080 (Fluent Liquid Handler) systems .Refurbishing and repurposing the Tecan 1080 platforms will build on established in house expertise and existing Tecan system integration. This will enable UKHSA to meet operational demand across both sites and support a broader range of priority activities.
