## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured a new hypoxia incubator for Marta Shahbazi, replacing a broken unit and funded from a grant. This is a laboratory equipment purchase within the wider category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, excluding glasses (CPV 38000000). The requirement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd on UKRI’s behalf. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement covered one complete requirement rather than multiple separately described lots. It is a goods contract for a specialist scientific laboratory instrument, relevant to suppliers that manufacture, distribute or support hypoxia incubators and related laboratory equipment for research organisations.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It followed a below-threshold limited competition, rather than an open procedure. Scientific Laboratory Supplies Ltd was awarded the single lot on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The active contract runs from 7 August 2026 to 7 November 2026. Its value is £12,185 excluding VAT, or £14,622 including VAT. The recorded award concerns the new hypoxia incubator requirement. The evaluation basis is reflected in the limited competition route; the available procurement record does not set out separate technical, quality or price weightings. UKRI is the buyer and UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement process.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates UKRI’s demand for specialist laboratory equipment to support research and replace failed instruments. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply hypoxia incubators suitable for scientific research, understand laboratory equipment specifications and provide dependable delivery within the UK. The requirement was sufficiently specialist to be handled through a limited competition and was below the applicable threshold, so suppliers should be able to respond efficiently to focused competitions rather than only large, open procurements. The successful supplier was an SME laboratory supplies business, indicating that specialist distributors and other smaller scientific equipment suppliers can compete for this type of UKRI requirement.
