## Summary

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured laboratory pipetting equipment for use in its Cambridge operations. The requirement covered Tacta pipettes and associated storage equipment: 12 P12 single-channel pipettes, 12 P100, 12 P200, six P1000, five P10 multi-channel pipettes with eight channels, five P100 multi-channel pipettes with eight channels and five P300 multi-channel pipettes with eight channels. It also included five carousel stands and five linear pipette stands. This is a goods requirement for laboratory equipment, classified under CPV 38437100 for pipettes. The buyer is a public NHS foundation trust based on Hills Road in Cambridge, and the awarded supply relates to one lot.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold tender procedure. The single lot was awarded to Sartorius UK Limited, and the award was active on the recorded award outcome. The award was dated 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 November 2026. Its value is £18,683.46 excluding VAT, or £22,420.19 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated as a goods purchase, with the procurement record identifying the process as below threshold; the available data does not set out an award-scoring basis. The contract itself is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals for a defined package of laboratory pipettes and compatible storage stands, delivered as a single purchase rather than separate lots. Suppliers seeking comparable NHS laboratory equipment work would need to offer a broad range of single-channel and eight-channel multi-channel pipettes, including P12, P100, P200, P300, P1000 and P10 capacities. They would also need to supply practical bench-storage equipment, including carousel and linear stands, as part of the same requirement. A credible competitor would therefore benefit from a catalogue spanning multiple pipette formats, the ability to assemble a mixed equipment package accurately, and experience supplying laboratory goods to NHS organisations. The awarded supplier was a large UK business.
