## Summary

In a recent procurement process managed by NHS Grampian, "Reagents, Consumables & Servicing" was awarded to an existing supplier, Life Technologies Ltd. The contract involves laboratory reagents crucial for testing regional patients' urgent cancer services at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Effective 18 February 2026, the contract is valued at £912,780 and follows a limited award procedure without prior publication of an invitation for competition. The procurement focuses on laboratory reagents and falls under the goods category, reflecting the necessity for specific technical capabilities that Life Technologies Ltd provides.

This tender represents a niche market opportunity due to its specialised technical requirements for laboratory reagents and consumables, primarily serving healthcare institutions. Businesses well-suited for growth in this sector are those proficient in medical consumables and capable of meeting UKAS accreditation standards for services like Next Generation Sequencing and PCR. Although the procurement was awarded via a waiver to an existing supplier, other companies in the medical supply chain can explore similar opportunities by developing expertise in high-demand areas, particularly in precision testing technologies and associated maintenance services.

## Notice

Reagents & consumables and equipment are used for many testing pathways within the laboratory including regional patients for urgent cancer services such as lung, colorectal and haematological malignancies and rare disease disorders such Cystic Fibrosis

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Award to existing supplier via waiver. These workstreams include Next Generation Sequencing, Microarray, PCR, Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis, and have all undergone extensive validation processes within the laboratory and are UKAS accredited.

Options: This is an ongoing supplier and will require a renewed contract yearly.

### Procurement Information

Purchase of alternative instruments and associated reagents & consumables would incur significant costs and involve delay to testing as additional extensive validation work would need to be undertaken before use.
