## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is buying a rheometer, a laboratory instrument used to measure how materials flow and deform. The purchase includes a three-year warranty. This is a goods requirement for laboratory and precision equipment. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified in the procurement details.

The MHRA invited offers through an open competition under the Procurement Act 2023. The contract is divided into one lot. The estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The contract period is set to run from 9 November 2026 to 31 March 2030. The deadline for questions was 16 October 2026 at 12:00, and the offer submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical and 30% price. Offers could be submitted electronically through the Atamis e-sourcing portal.

This opportunity suits suppliers of rheometers and laboratory precision equipment, including small and medium-sized businesses. Suppliers should be able to provide the required instrument and support it with a three-year warranty. The technical assessment carries greater weight than price, so bidders whose equipment and proposed delivery offer strong technical merit are best placed to compete. The contract runs over several years, making it relevant to suppliers able to support the supply over that period. The buyer is the MHRA, a central government agency.
