The Environment Agency (EA) has initiated a procurement process for the "Supply of Multiparameter Water Quality Instruments," classified under services related to water pollution (CPV code 90733000). The procurement is conducted via open procedure (above threshold) as per the Public Contracting Regulations 2015, and it is currently active in the tender stage. The significant dates include the tender publication on 12 September 2024, the tender period ending on 23 October 2024 at 11:00 AM, and the contract period running from 2 December 2024 to 2 December 2027, with the possibility of two additional 12-month extensions. The project has a minimum value of £1,800,000 and a maximum of £3,000,000, and it is open to suppliers globally, including within the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and elsewhere.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in water quality instrumentation to secure a long-term contract with a reputable public sector organisation. The procurement is split into three distinct lots, covering multi-parameter hand-held water quality instruments, deployable instruments for estuarine and fresh water use, and deployable instruments for marine use. Suppliers capable of offering robust, low-maintenance, and long-lasting equipment will be preferred. This opportunity is particularly suitable for SMEs, given the explicit encouragement in the tender documents. Securing this contract can lead to significant business growth through long-term supply and potential future upgrades, all while contributing to environmental sustainability efforts.
