## Summary

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust procured three Revolution 415 liquid nitrogen cryogenic storage vessels for the Camelia Botnar Laboratory in London. The requirement covers the supply, delivery and installation of medical equipment. The vessels are intended to increase the laboratory’s cryogenic storage capacity, improve the security of stored samples and support consolidation of existing storage arrangements. This is specialised laboratory and healthcare equipment rather than general facilities or construction work. The procurement concerns a single requirement and a single hospital buyer. Suppliers relevant to this work include manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist laboratory-equipment providers able to handle cryogenic storage vessels and their installation in a hospital laboratory environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. Biopharma Process system limited was selected as supplier for the single requirement. The stated rationale was that Biopharma Group is the exclusive authorised distributor in the United Kingdom and Ireland for Revolution, LABS-Series and K-Series cryogenic storage equipment, including associated accessories and spare parts. The award value is £129,000 excluding VAT, or £154,800 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 August 2026, with signature scheduled for 21 August 2026. The award is classified as above the relevant threshold and relates to medical equipment. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the direct-award route was based on exclusive distribution rights rather than competitive evaluation.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a specialist NHS laboratory for high-capacity liquid nitrogen cryogenic storage and provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting Great Ormond Street Hospital. A credible future competitor would need proven capability to supply, deliver and install Revolution 415 or equivalent cryogenic storage vessels, with particular strength in laboratory and healthcare environments. Authorisation or an equivalent route to supply the specified equipment is commercially important, since the award relied on exclusive distribution rights covering the United Kingdom and Ireland. Suppliers should also be able to support associated accessories and spare parts, protect the security of stored samples and help consolidate existing storage arrangements. Specialist medical-equipment distributors and laboratory technology firms, including SMEs with suitable installation capacity, are the most relevant businesses.
