## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency bought a Chromium X system and accessory kit for laboratory use. The purchase is for specialist laboratory equipment, classified under CPV 38000000, covering laboratory, optical and precision equipment. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The contracting authority is the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency. The equipment and accessory kit form one requirement, rather than separate lots. The purchase supports the agency’s laboratory operations; the product specified is a Chromium X system, supplied with its accessory kit and warranty.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to 10x Genomics, Inc. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £62,800 excluding VAT (£75,360 including VAT). The purchase was made by direct award below the threshold and without competition. The process was a single lot. The published procurement data gives no separate scoring or evaluation basis beyond this direct award route. The contract is active. The award covered the Chromium X system and accessory kit, and the contract title includes a 24-month warranty.

For suppliers seeking to compete for similar UK Health Security Agency requirements, this award is evidence of demand for a complete Chromium X system and accessory kit for laboratory use, rather than equipment alone. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified specialist laboratory platform and compatible accessories, with the ability to support the purchaser’s operational needs. The contract title also identifies a 24-month warranty, so warranty provision is part of the demonstrated requirement. The award was made directly to 10x Genomics without competition, so this outcome does not show how competing bids were assessed or what technical or commercial criteria a supplier would need to meet. It does, however, identify the product type, buyer and purchasing route relevant to this specific requirement.
