Laboratory Tenders and Contracts
See open laboratory tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Laboratory procurement covers equipment such as analysers and plate readers with their installation and servicing, and reagents and consumables for diagnostic and research laboratories. Managed service contracts that supply analysers with reagents and maintenance also come up. Outsourced testing includes water sampling and analysis, food safety microbiology and toxicology testing.
Equipment is often called off the Northwestern and London Universities Purchasing Consortium laboratory equipment frameworks, while testing is let as multi-supplier frameworks split into lots by region or sample type. NHS trusts and public health bodies, government agencies, universities and water utilities are the main buyers.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about laboratory equipment, laboratory services, laboratory supplies, laboratory consumables, laboratory chemicals, laboratory testing, laboratory analyser, laboratory instrument, pathology laboratory, microbiology services, forensic laboratory in the UK public sector.
What kind of laboratory work appears in these tenders?
Equipment supply such as analysers, incubators and pipettes, ongoing consumables and chemicals contracts, and outsourced testing services such as water and drinking water sampling, microbiology managed services and forensic laboratory work for police forces. Universities, NHS trusts, environmental agencies and nuclear sites are regular buyers.
Are these mostly equipment purchases or ongoing services?
Both appear in volume. Equipment purchases are often mini-competitions run through a wider laboratory equipment framework, while testing and consumables contracts tend to run for several years as standing arrangements.
What CPV codes cover laboratory tenders?
The main codes observed are 38000000 (Laboratory, optical and precision equipments) and 85145000 (Services provided by medical laboratories).
Which frameworks are used to buy laboratory equipment and consumables in the UK public sector?
University purchasing consortia run the laboratory equipment frameworks. The Northwestern Universities Purchasing Consortium high value laboratory equipment framework covers instruments such as electron microscopes, spectrometers, MRI scanners and X-ray diffractometers, together with servicing. Universities, UK Research and Innovation and museums call off from it by further competition and direct award.
The London Universities Purchasing Consortium laboratory equipment (general) and associated services framework covers everyday items such as incubators and microtomes, split into lots by equipment type.
Consumables and chemicals are called off from a separate laboratory consumables and chemicals framework, used by a university and the National Nuclear Laboratory.
How do I find laboratory contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read equipment replacement plans, asset registers, framework renewal dates and expiry dates for existing supply contracts, which show laboratory work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
