## Summary

NHS Grampian bought a Whitley A55 anaerobic workstation and Amtogen for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. This is specialist laboratory equipment used in anaerobic work. The requirement was treated as a single lot and procured as a call-off from the NHS Supply Chain framework for Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services. The buying organisation is NHS Grampian, which serves the Aberdeen area. The equipment’s stated delivery location is Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Don Whitley Scientific. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and is valued at £83,960. The process used an open procedure to make a call-off from the NHS Supply Chain framework for Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services. It covered one lot for the workstation and Amtogen. The published outcome records one bid, from an SME. The data gives no award date or contract period, so the signed date is the available date associated with the contract. The recorded procedure is open; no evaluation criteria are stated.

This outcome shows NHS Grampian’s demand for specialist anaerobic laboratory equipment at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, specifically an anaerobic workstation and Amtogen. A credible supplier for a comparable future requirement would need to supply this type of equipment and be able to meet the buyer’s laboratory needs. The purchase was made through an NHS Supply Chain framework, so framework access and the ability to fulfil a call-off are commercially relevant. One SME submitted the recorded bid and was selected, showing that a smaller specialist supplier competed successfully for this requirement. The contract is evidence of a defined, single-lot equipment purchase rather than a broader laboratory services requirement.
