## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has completed the procurement process titled "Purchase of Glassware" involving the bulk supply of glass containers used for microbiological growth media. This process, under the industry category "Laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware," is located in London, UK. It began with a direct award procurement method, due to bespoke health and safety issues, and concluded with a contract active from 15 May 2026 to 27 February 2029, with an option to extend. Notably, the contract was awarded to Scientific Laboratory Supplies Ltd based in Nottingham. The value of the contract is £233,380.80, and it was awarded on 15 May 2026.

This procurement creates business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in laboratory and pharmaceutical glassware. As the contract involves bespoke items, companies with niche manufacturing capabilities in this area would be exceedingly well-suited to compete. The procurement's direct method underscores the need for technically precise solutions that align with health and safety specifications, making it ideal for businesses that can supply high-quality, specialised glassware products. Additionally, the potential for contract extension and amendments offers ongoing collaboration opportunities for successful bidders.
