## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs is seeking to establish a single Framework for Laboratory Chemicals and Consumables, primarily serving the Environment Agency and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas). The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with bids closing on 30th December 2016. The contract, valued at £10 million, will commence on 1st May 2017 and run until 30th April 2021. The Framework will cover various laboratory items, including reagents, glassware, and sample containers, and will be open to Defra organisations across the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, notably those in the laboratory supplies industry, to grow through participation in a substantial Framework. Companies that manufacture or supply laboratory chemicals, consumables, and related products would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the Framework being available to multiple government organisations, successful bidders can secure ongoing contracts and expand their presence in the public procurement sector.

## Notice

We wish to establish a single Framework to provide chemicals and consumables. This Framework will initially serve the Environment Agency and Cefas, although other Defra organisations may wish to join during its lifespan. The Framework will run on the same terms for all Defra organisations. Under this Framework, we are seeking to appoint a high quality, proactive supplier for all of our laboratory chemicals and consumables, including sample containers, glassware, plastic consumables, laboratory chemicals & reagents, life science consumables and reagents, chromatography consumables and specific manufacturer produced items (replacement parts and consumables). Additional information: Please go to www.defra.bravosolution.co.uk for the procurement documents and instructions to bidders.
