## Summary

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured calibration services for 12 Climet particle counters and 12 Climet viable counters. The work concerns checking and calibrating this equipment, which is used to count particles and viable organisms. The buyer is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, based in North Shields. The equipment and delivery location are not stated more precisely, so the procurement should be of interest to firms able to provide calibration services for Climet particle and viable counters for this healthcare facilities buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to Optical Sciences Ltd, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract is active and was signed on 28 September 2026. Its period runs from 28 September to 12 October 2026. The contract value is £15,163.80 excluding VAT, or £18,196.56 including VAT. The requirement was handled as a single lot. No award evaluation criteria are stated. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the value and duration of the contract.

This award shows a specific requirement for calibration of Climet particle counters and viable counters within Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need to demonstrate the capability to calibrate both types of Climet equipment and to handle a set of 24 counters. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold requirement, and selected Optical Sciences Ltd, an SME. For future comparable requirements from this buyer, specialist Climet calibration experience and the capacity to service both particle and viable counters would be directly relevant.
