## Summary

Centre for Process Innovation Limited bought a package of laboratory refrigeration equipment: two upright -80°C freezers, two upright -20°C freezers, two upright 2–8°C fridges, one under-bench 2–8°C fridge and one under-bench -20°C freezer. The specified Thermo Fisher Scientific models have capacities ranging from 77 to 650 litres. The requirement also covers delivery to site, installation and calibration of every unit. This is a supply contract with associated installation and calibration services, for laboratory use. The buyer is Centre for Process Innovation Limited, based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar. The equipment is to be delivered to the buyer’s site; the published requirement does not give a more specific delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Fisher Scientific UK Ltd. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the full equipment package. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 25 September 2026. Its period runs from 25 September 2026 to 24 September 2027. The contract value is £37,059.77 excluding VAT and £44,471.72 including VAT. The available procurement details identify the equipment and delivery, installation and calibration requirements, but do not state a separate scoring formula or evaluation weighting.

This award shows demand at Centre for Process Innovation for a coordinated laboratory refrigeration package spanning ultra-low-temperature and standard cold storage, including both upright and under-bench units. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to source equipment across these temperature ranges and formats, meet the specified capacity needs, and manage delivery, on-site installation and calibration as a joined-up service. The selected supplier was Fisher Scientific UK Ltd, and the buyer used limited competition for this below-threshold purchase. Suppliers with a portfolio of laboratory freezers and fridges, reliable fulfilment and the technical capability to install and calibrate equipment on site are best placed to compete when this buyer next requires similar equipment.
