The consumables included in this contract are essential for completing this testing and would have a significant impact on the service if not awarded.
The proposed direct call off contract will be established for a two-year term to maintain business continuity through to the end of the life of the analysers. It has been confirmed that Mast Group Ltd is the officially appointed agent in the UK for Seegene, and the risks associated with Mast not being awarded this contract will have significant impact on the service

How to Read This Tender
- 1Look for the "direct call‑off" wording – it means the buyer already has a framework and is selecting a supplier for a specific need, so the paperwork is usually shorter
- 2Check the specification sheets for the exact consumable part numbers and quantities expected – missing a part number can invalidate a bid
- 3Read the contract duration (two years) and consider whether you can meet the volume and delivery schedule over that time
- 4Identify any mandatory certifications (ISO, CE) – you’ll need to prove you have them before the award
- 5Watch out for the requirement that Mast Group Ltd is the official UK agent – you may need to work through them or prove you have a similar authorised status
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you don’t hold the Seegene distribution rights, consider partnering with Mast Group Ltd or another authorised reseller to meet the requirement
- Highlight any added social value you can bring (e.g., local employment, training) – small firms often score well on this criterion
- Use the two‑year term to propose flexible delivery schedules or volume discounts that larger suppliers might not offer
