## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) based in London, UK, initiated a tender for the procurement of a bespoke Flexible Film Isolator. This tender, identified as C387455, aimed at acquiring laboratory equipment under the industry category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, excluding glasses. Although the tender process began with an active status, it was ultimately cancelled on 19th December 2025 due to no compliant bids received by the final status date of 18th December 2025. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the tender period was set to end on 11th December 2025.

This tender represented a potential opportunity for businesses involved in the design and installation of laboratory equipment, particularly those capable of delivering custom-built solutions fitting precise specifications. Companies offering expertise in negative pressure equipment and collaborative design processes with laboratory scientists and engineers could have found this tender a suitable opportunity for business growth. Though this specific procurement was concluded prematurely, understanding the needs of central government bodies such as the MHRA can help businesses prepare for potential future opportunities in this sector.

## Notice

The MHRA is looking to procure a bespoke, custom-built negative pressure, Flexible Film Isolator (FFI) linked via a ventilated transfer junction to an existing class III MSC in our SAPO4 containment facility. The FFI shall run at negative pressure. The design must fit the space in the laboratory to enable ergonomic use. The FFI must be capable of maintaining an acceptable internal temperature during normal operation. The FFI must be sufficiently large enough and of reasonable construction to house equipment of ~470kg. There must be a design phase working with laboratory scientists and facility engineers to ensure product suitability. Site visit for this Tender is a mandatory requirement. All details available in the Tender documents.
