This procurement falls within the laboratory equipment industry and is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender process is open, with submissions due by 29 March 2021. The estimated value of the contract is £275,000, and the subsequent contract period will commence on 17 October 2021 and last until 16 October 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, which encourages broad participation from interested suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment, IT services, and software development. Organisations that can offer solutions for laboratory management, compliance with UKAS quality standards, and data processing capabilities will be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially allowing them to expand their customer base in the public sector while contributing valuable services to enhance highway maintenance efforts in Derbyshire. ## Notice To comply with its legislative obligations to maximise value during the delivery of highway maintenance across the region of Derbyshire the authority employs a Highways Materials Laboratory. This facility is required to be at the forefront of all the road maintenance activities. Once the programme is identified for the next five years we start working on the sites. We are involved with the site from this point through to completion of any works. The first task we are involved with is identification of the existing condition of the pavement, cores are extracted, logged and commented on - testing for contaminants is undertaken. The findings are recorded, located on a network plan and the new design takes this information to develop the detailed design. During construction the laboratory attends sites and undertakes testing on site and removes samples for testing in the laboratory. Any system will need to have site based capability to record and calculate test results. This will need to interface with the lab based system and the network systems currently used. We monitor samples and tests associated with :- Soils Aggregates Asphalts Concretes Hazardous contamination such as Tar Water Quality Noise Levels On Site skid resistance On Site texture depth measurement On Site longitudinal Regularity On Site density We undertake sampling and testing for both internal and external private clients, we invoice for the work we undertake. Invoices are made up of standard charges and additional time and add-on charges. In addition we run Profit and loss accounting and would like the system to manage a basic review of ongoing financial position. Many of the items of equipment within the laboratory have interface with lab system capability, where possible we would like to utilise this facility to reduce Technician interface. The materials Laboratory manages under a UKAS quality system, the standards we work to are onerous. We are looking for the system to help with this requirement. It should include calibrations and Technician training records. Highlighting any irregularities with full test compliance. For example if the Technician undertaking the test has not been reviewed for their annual competency in the test the system should say so. Likewise with equipment calibrations and the generation of annual quality review dates and records, standard formats for meeting minutes etc. The Materials Laboratory is undertaking a number of research and development tasks, working with others we will need to share information on a one off basis, make bespoke results tables, import results from partner organisations. Take survey data and manipulate the data easily, this will need to be accommodated within the system. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c48ee20-ea99-4eaa-a908-3a9cb241d131 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - Other | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 29 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Oct 2021 - 16 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £275,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3FW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 1 Mar 2021 at 12:01 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c48ee20-ea99-4eaa-a908-3a9cb241d131 - 1 Mar 2021 at 11:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c48ee20-ea99-4eaa-a908-3a9cb241d131 - 26 Feb 2021 at 14:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4767e9b6-8c89-4edf-af41-6cb2b832b142 - 26 Feb 2021 at 13:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/818eca2e-b275-4d51-ac1b-ccd60cf235dd - 26 Feb 2021 at 13:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7f0c2ba8-4d64-47ee-927b-b4da75d17a75 - 26 Feb 2021 at 13:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ff681c4-869c-436b-bec0-817fa004b79e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c48ee20-ea99-4eaa-a908-3a9cb241d131 1st March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4767e9b6-8c89-4edf-af41-6cb2b832b142 26th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/818eca2e-b275-4d51-ac1b-ccd60cf235dd 26th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7f0c2ba8-4d64-47ee-927b-b4da75d17a75 26th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ff681c4-869c-436b-bec0-817fa004b79e 26th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0f5ba3d9-3278-eb11-810a-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
