## Summary

The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), located in Lowestoft, United Kingdom, has amended a contract titled "CEFAS25-30 Spatial Transcriptomics Consumables." The procurement falls under the laboratory reagents industry category. Initially awarded in June 2025 through a direct procurement method without competition, the contract originally intended to supply consumables for the EU Horizons PARC programme. With the amendment dated March 2026, the contract period has been extended to last from 2nd March 2026 until 31st March 2027, with a gross value of £76,659.60. The process is currently in the contract amendment stage, with legal foundations laid by the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents robust opportunities for businesses engaged in the production or distribution of laboratory reagents, particularly those specialising in spatial transcriptomics. Although the procurement method was direct, the extension allows firms to anticipate potential future opportunities with CEFAS in similar scientific and research-focused projects. Businesses that are capable of delivering high-quality consumables within specified standards will find this tender as a stepping stone into broader research-supporting markets, potentially enhancing their visibility and reputation amongst sub-central government agencies in the UK.
