The requirement covers the complete equipment and installation service: decontamination, decommissioning, removal and disposal of existing units, installation of the new cabinets, commissioning, and relocation of the existing unit. This is a goods procurement with associated specialist installation and laboratory decontamination work. Delivery and implementation are across Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is managing the procurement process for Public Health Wales NHS Trust. The bulk purchase is intended to provide cost efficiencies compared with buying the cabinets individually. The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically through the eTenderWales procurement system. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 October 2026 at 17:00, and tender responses were due by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £122,000 excluding VAT, or £146,400 including VAT. There is one lot covering the full requirement. Offers are evaluated on commercial cost weighted at 80%, sustainability at 15%, and technical quality at 5%. The procurement is below the applicable threshold and uses an open competition procedure. This opportunity suits suppliers specialising in microbiological safety cabinets, laboratory containment equipment and associated installation services. Strong candidates will be able to supply 1200mm Class II cabinets and manage the full delivery process, including safe decontamination, decommissioning, removal and disposal of existing equipment, relocation of an existing cabinet, installation and commissioning of new units. The requirement is suited to businesses with coordinated equipment supply, specialist laboratory engineering and site-installation capacity across Wales. Experience of working safely in laboratory environments and delivering commissioned containment equipment would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate a credible sustainability approach, since sustainability contributes 15% of the evaluation. The single-lot structure favours contractors able to provide the complete package rather than only one element. ## Notice The proposed contract includes the capital purchase of five 1200mm Class II microbiological safety cabinets (MSCs), and the relocation of one existing microbiological safety cabinet. The purchase includes decommission and disposal of existing units, and installation and commission of new units. The scope of the contract includes decontamination, removal, installation and commissioning, with a bulk procurement approach delivering cost efficiencies that would not be achievable through individual purchases. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086233-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 9 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2027 - 31 Dec 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £122,000 | | Lots value | £122,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Public Health Wales NHS Trust | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Postcode area | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 4BZ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Butetown | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 11 Sep 2026 at 09:55 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086233-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086233-2026 11th September 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://etenderwales.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.shtml - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
