## Summary

The University of Chester is conducting a tender for the supply and delivery of general laboratory consumables and chemicals, aimed at supporting research and innovation projects funded by the Eco-Innovation Cheshire and Warrington. The contract is scheduled to commence on 8th January 2018 and will run until 30th September 2020, with potential extensions available for two additional one-year periods. The total budget for this procurement, should all options be utilised, is up to £50,000, although actual orders may vary. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 18th December 2017, allowing for interested suppliers to submit their applications promptly.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of laboratory consumables, chemicals, and related goods. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the University seeks one main supplier but acknowledges the need for flexibility in sourcing items. Companies capable of fulfilling a diverse range of laboratory supply requirements, such as disposable gloves, inorganic and organic chemicals, laboratory glassware, and solvents, may find this tender aligns well with their product offerings and business capabilities.

## Notice

This is a confirmation of award following the below tender: The University is undertaking a tender for the supply and delivery of general laboratory consumables and chemicals to support the research and innovation for research projects delivered by Eco-Innovation Cheshire and Warrington. The contract is for an initial period until 30th September 2018 with the option to extend for 2 x 1 year periods in respect of Project No: 03R16P01048. While the University seeks to appoint one supplier for this contract to cover all Lots, if during the contract the appointed provider cannot supply particular items the University reserves the right to source those items from an alternative supplier. The initial anticipated requirements are detailed within Document 2 - Specification and Pricing Schedule. The total budgeted value for this tender, (should all extension options be taken) is up to PS50,000 including VAT. The actual demand and volumes may vary from the indicative values given in this tender document, as over the period of the contract term, additional requirements may be identified, or reduced, as demand may increase or alter. No guarantee can therefore be given regarding the volume, nor value, of business placed. Quantities or volumes specified within this tender document are therefore indicative only. One order may therefore be placed for the total requirements, or as separate, individual orders. The appointed provider/s will be awarded the contract for the duration of this contract term and may therefore be required to supply requirements, below, or in addition to, what has been initially specified within the scope of this tender.
