## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal has awarded a contract for the procurement of an Innova® stackable incubator unit. The contract, worth £14,315.86 GBP, falls under the industry category of Incubators. The procurement process was initiated through an open procedure, with a tender period ending on 2nd December 2022. The contract period is set to start on 15th December 2022 and end on 31st March 2024, enabling businesses in various locations such as British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom to participate.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in goods procurement, particularly those specialising in scientific equipment like incubators. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract. By supplying the required equipment meeting specific technical specifications, businesses can contribute to maintaining controlled conditions for ecotoxicological tests, aligning with standardised guidelines for environmental testing set by organisations such as ISO, EPA, and OECD.

## Notice

Cefas require a large Innova(r) stackable incubator unit capable of maintaining an internal temperature of +- 1C and allowing for adjustable lighting (addition and removal of bulbs to facilitate a range of light levels). The equipment must also have an orbital shaker built into it with an orbit of 25mm and adjustable RPM. The unit must be compatible with Innova(r) 44 Incubators to allow for stacking on top of existing units. The incubator unit will be used to maintain controlled conditions for the duration of acute and chronic ecotoxicological tests. Many of these tests are standardised and follow specific guidelines which dictate required environmental conditions (e.g. ISO / EPA / OECD). Incubators are used to maintain specific parameters for both test organisms and for test reagents.
