## Summary

The procurement process involves the MHRA Buyer Organisation seeking a service provider for the maintenance, servicing, and calibration of pipettes at the NIBSC site located in Potters Bar, England. The tender, titled "Pipette Calibration and Maintenance," falls under the laboratory equipment industry category and has been awarded to Anachem - a Mettler-Toledo Ltd. The open procurement method was used, with a tender period that ended on 12 April 2019, and the contract is set to run from 1 August 2019 to 31 July 2024, with an award value of £178,000.

This opportunity is particularly aligned for businesses that specialise in laboratory services, especially those with expertise in calibration and maintenance compliant with ISO 17025 standards. Companies of all sizes, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are encouraged to participate in similar tenders to expand their operations within the healthcare and scientific sectors. Expertise in servicing a range of pipette makes and models will provide a competitive edge for prospective bidders.

## Notice

The Agency is looking for a provider for the maintenance, servicing and calibration of its pipettes at the NIBSC site. The Supplier's Quality Management System and calibration service must be accredited to ISO 17025 standard for pipette calibration for all makes, models and volumes of pipettes, by UKAS or other equivalent national accreditation body. NIBSC has currently approximately 586 pipettes requiring accredited calibration service and 962 pipettes requiring non-accredited (compliant to ISO 17025) service of various makes, models and volumes. The frequency of service and calibration differs from 'accredited' and 'non-accredited' pipettes.
