## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, purchased a Biomic system for laboratory use. The requirement is for specialist laboratory equipment, within the broader category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one system and is recorded as a single lot. UKHSA is the public-sector buyer; Giles Scientific Inc., a US-based supplier, was selected to provide the system. This is a focused equipment purchase rather than a wider laboratory service or works contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKHSA made a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Giles Scientific Inc. was awarded the contract, which was signed on 25 September 2026. Its value is USD 81,400 excluding tax, or USD 97,680 including tax. The contract runs from 25 September 2026 to 1 October 2027. There was one lot, for the Biomic system. The published information identifies the direct-award route but does not set out a comparative evaluation basis or specific eligibility requirements.

For suppliers considering similar UKHSA requirements, this award shows demand for a specialist Biomic laboratory system, sourced directly from its manufacturer or supplier rather than through a competed process. A credible competitor would need to provide the required system itself and demonstrate that it meets the Agency’s laboratory equipment needs, with the ability to supply and deliver in the United Kingdom. Giles Scientific Inc. is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a large corporate supplier was not required for this purchase. The requirement is a single, defined equipment supply rather than a broad service package; relevant suppliers are those with access to the specific system and the practical capacity to fulfil a focused public-sector equipment contract.
