How do I find laboratory tenders in the UK public sector?

Search live and pre-tender laboratory notices, or move earlier by reading buyers' research and estates strategy documents before a tender is published. On Stotles you can track a buyer through to the live tender and the eventual award.

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. Universities, NHS trusts, environmental agencies and nuclear sites are the most frequent 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). They are not applied as a filter on this page: plenty of on-intent notices carry a chemicals, water testing or general research code instead.
