## Summary

NHS Grampian, located in Aberdeen, has completed a public procurement contract focussed on the supply of reagents, consumables, and servicing for its genetics laboratory at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. This contract falls under the "goods" category, specifically designed for laboratory reagents, and was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons requiring a direct award. The contract was signed on 23rd February 2026 and awarded to Illumina Cambridge Ltd., a large supplier with extensive validation processes in place, ensuring continuity in operations without incurring additional substantial costs and delays. The procurement process has concluded with the contract marked as active, after only one bid was submitted, which originated from a non-EU foreign entity. The award value of the contract amounted to GBP 198,846.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for large suppliers in the medical and laboratory equipment industry, particularly those capable of providing specialised reagents and consumables that meet the technical requirements validated in health settings. Businesses with established technical expertise and product validation aligned with UKAS accreditation stand a good chance to partner in similar future procurements. While SMEs did not participate in this tender, established entities with the capability to offer seamless integration with existing validated systems can leverage such contracts for business growth, expanding their presence within the NHS and potentially gaining access to a stable and ongoing service requirement.
