This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 13th December 2019. The successful contractor will provide Liquid Chromatograph and Gas Chromatograph Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers, with the contract expected to last for four years, commencing 24th January 2020. The estimated total value of the procurement is £2 million, with the delivery locations spanning various regions including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and instrumentation, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that offer innovative solutions in spectrometry technologies are well-suited to compete for this contract, as the Environment Agency seeks proactive contractors for maintenance and supply. The ability to bid on either of the two lots increases participation chances and allows businesses to tailor their offerings strategically, thereby enhancing their market presence within the public procurement landscape. ## Notice The Environment Agency is seeking to find proactive and innovative Contractor(s) for provision of Liquid Chromatograph Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers (LCQQQ) and Gas Chromatograph Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers (GCQQQ). The requirements have been divided into two (2) Lots (detailed in Part 3 of this ITT) as the instruments are recognised to be different. Tenderers may bid for one or both Lots and each Lot will be evaluated separately. The Authority expects to purchase one (1) GCQQQ for delivery by 31/3/2020 and one (1) LCQQQ for delivery between April 2020 and March 2021. The Contract(s) will be in place for a period of four (4) years' from award of Contract, during which the Authority expects to purchase a further three (3) LCQQQ and three (3) GCQQQ).
