## Summary

The John Innes Centre bought a two-year complete service and maintenance contract for its AVNEO 600 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The requirement covers specialist support for precision laboratory equipment, rather than the supply of a new instrument. The work is for the research centre at Norwich Research Park, Norwich. The procurement is in the laboratory and scientific equipment maintenance category (CPV 50400000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition, below the applicable threshold. Bruker UK Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 21 May 2026 and runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 June 2028. Its value is £140,949.38 excluding VAT, or £169,139.28 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The published outcome identifies the service requirement and selected supplier; no separate scoring or evaluation basis is stated.

For suppliers competing when this specialist requirement next comes to market, credibility will depend on the ability to provide complete service cover for an AVNEO 600 NMR spectrometer, including maintenance and repair support for precision research equipment. The selected supplier was Bruker UK Limited, indicating that the buyer appointed a specialist equipment company for this service. Competitors should be equipped to support the particular instrument and deliver continuity of service at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. The scale is a dedicated, two-year service arrangement for one advanced laboratory instrument, so relevant technical expertise and capacity to maintain the system over a sustained period are central to competing.
