## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured the supply and installation of a microwave digester for analytical toxicology. This is a laboratory, optical and precision equipment requirement, focused on providing equipment for analytical toxicology work rather than a wider laboratory service. The buyer is a central government public authority based in London, and the contract is associated with its UK Health Security Agency operations. The requirement covered one complete lot and included both supplying the equipment and installing it. Businesses operating in laboratory equipment manufacture, distribution, integration or installation may therefore find this procurement relevant, particularly where they support analytical toxicology laboratories and public-sector scientific users.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The single lot was awarded to ANTON PAAR LTD, an SME. The award is active. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £34,462 excluding VAT, or £41,354 including VAT. The contract is for the provision of a microwave digester for analytical toxicology, including supply and installation. The procurement used one lot, and the recorded process route was a direct award without competition. The available outcome shows one selected supplier and one contract; no separate competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this award.

For a supplier assessing future work from the UK Health Security Agency, this procurement demonstrates demand for specialist laboratory equipment supporting analytical toxicology, with supply and installation handled as a single requirement. A credible competitor would need to provide a microwave digester suitable for the stated analytical use, understand laboratory and precision-equipment requirements, and deliver a reliable installation service. Relevant capability may sit with an equipment manufacturer, an authorised specialist distributor, or an integrator able to combine product supply with site installation. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can be involved in this type of central-government laboratory equipment requirement. Experience supporting scientific or toxicology laboratories would strengthen a future proposition.
